[Referring to my last blog]
It turns out that Meredith Ann Pierce (author of the Darkangel Trilogy and bringer of THE WORST ENDING IN HISTORY besides "And then I woke up and realised it was all a dream") wrote this in an interview:
"Anybody who considers that a satisfying ending is nuts. Take heart! I intend to shift focus to Irrylath and show him as a very human character coming to grips with a life of duty, devoid of personal satisfaction or love. No longer overshadowed by Aerial, Irrylath must forgive himself for his crimes as a darkangel, regain his wings and discover the secret that will set both him and Aerial free. Aerial will learn the high personal cost of surrendering herself, however nobly, to Ravenna's planetary rescue plan."
The last book was supposed to end on the line "Here end for a time the adventures of Aerial. The adventures of Irrylath have only begun". However her publishers vetoed the decision.
So is there hope for this book series yet? I should hope so. But seeing as the last book was published in twenty-one years ago, I'm not so sure. Ms Pierce has made her readers wait two decades and still we don't have a satisfying ending. I doubt one is coming. However, at least I know Areal and Irrylath will end up together. Even if it isn't written on paper.
