Question: Has anyone ever read a trilogy that didn't suck at the end!?
Every time I start reading a book, and it turns into a trilogy, I end up being very, very disappointed!. Are there any trilogies out there that aren't Nora Roberts, that actually end how you expect them to!? Or does anyone agree that they should have never invented the term trilogy!?
For example:
The Midnighters (anyone else ticked about Jess's current predicament and how it was left!?)
Libba Bray's Gemma Doyle series (Anyone else ticked about Kartik!?)
The Uglies (He had to write a fourth book just to appease the fans who hated the ending of the trilogy so much)
Etc!.
And Star Wars does not countWww@QuestionHome@Com

I loved the end of Specials in the uglies!. I think Extras sucked!.

I also hated the ending o the His Dark Materials Series!. :[Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think LOTR counts!. First, it has 6 books inside the three boks and secondly, the author himself wanted it to be one huge book, not a trilogy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
