The author really has you where he wants you with this book. If you have enjoyed this series and wish to know how it really ends you are out of luck. Unfortunately this is the last book of the series and it really does in with about one million cliffhangers. Its not the typical, " oh I really loved these characters and want to know how the rest of their lives go cliffhangers". Honestly you are awaiting a decision and consequences of that decision at the end of the novel with no hope of getting that conclusion. The real kicker is, the author knew he would not be writing a seventh novel. The publishers asked for the first trilogy, and when that sold well, they asked for a second trilogy. Going into this novel the author knew he would not be writing the seventh novel, he had already been told this from the publishing company. (I am getting all of this info off of the author's website by the way. I went there trying to see when the next book would be realized to learn there wouldn't be one.) So by leaving the storylines up in the air ( and for those of you who have finished the novel, no pun intended), the author claims he will not write another book until it is guaranteed to be published and the only way to do that is to have the fans write them and demand it. Basically, I feel this is saying " I have left all of you hanging on purpose so that I can get more money from this franchise when the publishers get tired of hearing from you" Because really, we have read the six books that were originally ordered and feel we need to know what actually happens.All of that being said, this book is actually quite lame compared to the other ones. Things feel rushed and half thought out. I wish I had stopped at book three. I thought the beginning of the series was amazing. Simply put. As the series progressed, I found myself skipping pages, skimming pages, and just wanting to get to the end. I was curious as to how the series would end and decided to read the last book. Big disappointment. The ending left more questions than the previous book and the series feels unfinished. There are limitless possibilities on what happens afterward and the book is just a long journey...To me, it felt like an unfinished book/series.
What do You think about Faerie Path #6 (2009)?
Loved it! When is the next one coming out?
