For me more important than happy or sad is satisfying ending. Not only must the ending seem like a natural conclusion to all that's gone before, it also must actually be an ending. I understand that in the case of series, the author wants to give us a reason to buy volume XVII. Even so, if the other books don't resolve to at least temporary ending I get cranky.
