Thanks for the link.
I like this information:
A good climax is one that is unexpected but still makes sense. It should be something that changes everything but is still believable.

A good climax should also be emotionally impactful. This is what will stay with the reader long after they finish the story.

But the most important thing about a good climax: the protagonist needs to make a choice. This choice needs to be the hardest choice they've made in the entire story and show how much the character has grown. The climax is where your character proves they really are a changed person. This choice is usually the climactic moment of the story – the climax within the climax.

Now I have to think about this while finishing the book I'm reading. I think I know the answer, but I'll refer to these ideas as I finish.
