Final Books With Body Counts

I finished The Last Olympian today. I'm seeing a pattern with the concluding volumes of serial fantasy thrillers:

Gregor and the Code of Claw--Fight, fight, fight. Die, die, die.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows--Fiiiiight, fight, fight, fight. Die! Die! Diiiiiiiiie!

The Last Olympian--Fight...Fight...Fight. Fight, fight, fight. Die...Die. die, die, die.
