But I think the author was taken by surprise by the publisher's decision not to publish the fourth book? I'm not sure. I highly recommend any of her books though, adult or YA.

Assuming it has to do with book rights. Anyway glad you liked this overall. But ugh for an unfinished series. Frustrating all around - for the author and reader.
