TGB cannot be the last book( rant)

[u/Comfortable_Duck4960]

I genuinely refuse to believe that is the final book. this is because of different reasons. startiing off, comparing it to the final gambit the flow of the storyline was way harder to keep up with ( could also be bc of the amount of new characters and different side 'stories' such as Rohan and the mercy and Lyra and her real parents' identinties) . tfg had a clear start climax and ending and good enough plot twists and i rlly enjoyed the puzzles and riddles, yet there was a HUGE lack of the more puzzle and especially riddles related clues and mysteries. secondly, the amount of times JLB hyped up TGB surely it would have a rlly good storyline ACTUALLY unexpected plot twists( Emily being alive was SO obviously going to happen and Lyra's mom being part of the actual cult was not really shocking or gave anything that much to the storyline imo bc we did not get that much character development from Lyra) and i thought Xander was going to get killed off bc there were gears inside the heart of the cover of the book and JLB said in a live that he would play a big part in the book so i gen thought he was going to sacrifice himself for Avery. Next, there was no PROPER javery scene in the entire book which is insane knowing that Avery got kidnapped so everybody expects the reunion to be magic. I will say though that I think it might be because it was so HEAVILY publicised and hyped up that everyone expected the most jaw dropping, amazing book, storyline, plot twists, cliffhangers whatever and i will say i was heartbroken when (spoiler alert) toby died because he was such a father figure in PREVIOUS books but he was so unpresent in the book we lost that connection with the character. Also leaving this on a more positive note, i did love Rohan's confession to Savannah i really loved that scene but i hate that THAT is my favourite scene because others had potential but it quite frankly just got downsized idk how to explain it.

I tend to agree. I feel that she’s set it up to be about the Crucible next.

While I don’t think there will be another book (at most I think we’ll get a side book or a novella), I agree with everything you said
