As a reader I like the book to have a final conclusion that ties up loose ends and resolves the central conflict, leaving me as a reader with a sense of closure and understanding of the story's meaning, unless it is a series, where the final closure is with the final book.
As a reader, as I progress through a book that I'm sure is going to earn 5 stars, can be reduced to 4 or even three if it comes to an abrupt ending, with me thinking - "Well what happened?" I don't want to be left thinking this has ended, but it's not really finished.
As an author, I try my best to make sure, when a reader has finished reading one of my stand alone books or completing my series, I hope they feel it has ended with a conclusion.
