Consider this... you read this book series for years and think the MC you are rooting for is doing the right thing and trying to defeat the villian. However, during what you thought was the climactic ending of the series, it is revealed that the MC is actually the bad guy who manipulates everything while the villian is actually the hero. Because the MC is the narrator and the lense which you view the story, you couldn't see it the entire time. Even the other characters couldn't see it. Now that is has been exposed though, the MCs true villian arc can happen and you get to finally understand things from the one who you thought was the villian. All the breadcrumbs from previous books start to make sense and the story continues with the roles in their proper order so it's not like it came out of nowhere. The heroes saga you thought you were following is actually the villians journey to get the hero to leave them alone.
Would you hate that, love that, or would it make you drop the series entirely? What are your thoughts on this kind of story shift?
