Betrayed

I feel betrayed. Betrayed by an author I trusted. How could she?! How could she do that to her audience?!!! How could she put us through all that pain and sacrifice only to give us the most DEPRESSING and UNSATISFYING and UNFAIR ENDING as ever I've seen in literature???!!!

The author is Meredith Anne Pierce. The books are the Darkangel Trilogy.

I feel so angry. For years I've waited to read the final two books. Years. Ever since I first discovered Darkangel when I was thirteen in my High School library. It was the first book I borrowed. Recently I found the last two books and I have been addicted. I scarcely put either book down except to eat and sleep. And finally, after years of waiting and hoping, after THREE BOOKS and knowing that in the end, the character who has done nothing but sacrifice must get what she desires most -  the love of her life, to be told this; that she is to be alone and immortal in a body that is not her own (bar one friend who is mortal and will thus die) for eternity; that she will be controlled by another; that, although the love interest can finally love her back she can never see him again; that she cannot see her love because she must rebuild the world and cannot be allowed 'distractions'; that he can never come stay with her because he must rule his own Kingdom; that he may possibly end up marrying his horrid cousin OR (most likely) be alone for the rest of his life; and that our main character, who we have grown to love and respect, is miserable, alone, a slave to a world she alone can save, and in a way, right back where she started.

What kind of an ending is that?
