    <body><![CDATA[Damn, this is starting to get boring. I think Marsden realised that the only way to keep such a series interesting was to keep ramping up the action, but after a while the sheer repetition and the constant tension gets boring anyway. It was pretty obvious at the end of the third book that he at least left himself the option of turning it into a trilogy. I wonder why he didn't just leave it there? Did he want more money, was he under pressure from his fans, did he just feel like writing some more of it? I can't be certain until I've finished, but I think it might have been better left as a trilogy.]]></body>
