One thing i like is that they avoided becoming full on fanfiction for the ending.  It feels like a lot of the last 2 seasons was very fanfictiony, but i feel they avoided it in the finale.

Theres going to be a lot of really disappointed book readers when GRRM's ending is pretty close to what happens in the show.  With characters switched here and there for some storylines.

You and I have rather different definitions of fan fiction but okay. I thought this was fan fiction in its purest form. Evil people gone, good guys are all happy and where they should be, which isn't very game of thrones imo. Don't get me wrong, I love the ending for these characters because its fan fiction and I'm a fan, but it does feel really unsatisfying.

Not at all. The problem with the show is how we got here, not the ending itself. Book readers know this is the ending they'll get, but they also know it'll make sense and be earned (if it ever happens). For example, Dany turning evil/mad will be done way, way, way better in the books and in fact the seeds are already being planted. Also final fight will most likely not be against Cersei, Bran will have more to do with the fight against The Others and shame like that.
