I think that depends on how the book ended and sits with you sometimes they leave some more open questions or the contents is very shocking. It kind of depends on the book maybe it's relief that you finished maybe it's bewilderment I felt a bevy of different emotions after finishing a great book.

Happy and disappointed. I’m also thinking about when to read it again.

I feel happy - not because it is over, but because it was so wonderful. I get even more excited when there is another book in the series to read. And sometimes, the book is so good, when I finish the book, I skip back to the beginning and start again.
