Let's see...
The Hunger Games series, though I was more angry at the ending than depressed. Still, I'd like to know even more about the world.
The Kingkiller Chronicles, and mainly because it has three books but the third is not out yet. I was depressed at the end of the second book because the world was so immersive.
Pretty much any book David Mitchell has written I've been depressed over having finished; he's a phenomenal writer.

All the time whenever I'm really into a book. When I finished my last John Keegan history book, I was upset that he had run out of history in that period to write about... D:
Lord of the Night, sorta. Great book, with a great ending...except after that there was a totally bullshit epilogue, which basically said "Yeah, there might be a sequel" and nothing else. Fuck that.
Sadly, it happened quite often when I was younger. Now that I'm older I've taken steps to try to lessen the blow. The most notable time was after reading the 4th HP book when I was 13 and realising that not only was the next book far away, but I would also never get to attend Hogwarts myself and instead continue living in a drab existence without magic or even unicorns.
It was quite terrible actually, and later led to my Legolas addiction and prompted my change into an anime fan girl.

I generally feel more relieved than depressed. This Yahtzee quote sums it up fairly accurately:
"A good story is only really satisfying once it's finished."

I found that drowning small bags of kittens did little to remove the depression received after finishing 1984 for the first time. Such a bummer
Like so

That's how I felt after finishing the Codex Alera series.
Basically you take Roman Legions, give them powers from Avatar: The Last Airbender, and pit them against barbarians with mentally-linked animal companions, 7 foot tall werewolves, and the Zerg.
The guy who wrote The Dresden Files wrote them too. Basically every book was bigger and more crazy awesome than the last one, and realizing there were no more was incredibly depressing.

Damn... I've only read it twice, but remembering that ending... crap...(!)CrashBang said:
OT: Occasionally, like le Comte de Monte Cristo and Fool's Fate, upon re-reading, I sped through all however many pages, turned the last page with a building 'fffffffffuuuuuuuuuu' in my head as I try stopping myself from blubbing.
... And based on your avatar, how did you feel when Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles ended?!Tandtroll said:
Sadly, I never read much of Tsubasa. My Mokona fascination comes mostly from Magic Knight Rayearth. And I must say, a lot of anime/manga has left me quite sad and sorrowful at the end from knowing I might never get to experience something similar ever again.SckizoBoy said:
