Trilogies

[poliphilo]

What is it about trilogies?

Why does it feel awkward and unsatisfactory to have two books in a series, but supremely right to have three?

I've written two Purchas novels now, but I'm not going to be satisfied until I've finished the third.

I'm enjoying the second novel even more than the first. If you continue this trend, #3 is a must!

I read a two-book "series" recently. I remember feeling that if it wasn't going to go on for three volumes, it should have been done as a single.

Thank you. I think #2 is darker than #1.

I'll let you into a secret: I've already written 2,000 words of #3.
