This was a "end"
It's a end, not a good one, but acceptable. Ravens values, his actions, and his mantra (don't kill) are twisted to help round out a end to this tale. I was hoping for a grand finale, where everything is connected, the plots and characters brought In through the 9 book series would culminate to a mash up similar to the final battle of hogwarts. Instead, it's kinda the same stuff as the last 4 books. Nothing is resolved, we don't know who the legacy are or their true goals. we don't know who their true enemy is or their goals. we don't know why there are supers, and why space aliens (yes it was aliens is the answer) gave them this curse/gift. There is magic, there is inter dimensional magic cats, the purge, the confessor thing, Butterfly, school, his dads conspiracy, which is all brushed aside and given a quick mop up at the end. I'll say this whole story about stepping up and being a hero kinda fell flat. The jackal issue is still there, the SSA problem and their evil dehumanization of supers is still an issue, raptors biotech company issue, and the quare/worm issue was just glossed over. It's a story about compromise, and he compromised on the story. I wish the author would've thought it through a bit better, but this is what we got.
