As mentioned above, another epic sequence to have come to an end this year is Michael Grant's superb [[Gone by Michael Grant]] series. While that's sci-fi rather than fantasy, there are enough things in common with Wereworld - including the 'shades of grey' characterisation, the power of normal people to make a difference in a world of mutated teens there (as opposed to Werelords here), and the superb character arcs - to make me very happy to recommend it as a great read for fans of this series.
