    <body><![CDATA[And excellent end to the story. I was utterly delighted by all the steam-punk goodies that showed up just in time for the finish. However, I have the same problem with the ending as I did with Gaiman's loverly Stardust... WHY!? There was a blatantly obvious way to give this wonderful faerytale a deliriously happy ending, and instead we get the more literary &quot;serious&quot; ending. Not cool. Who the hell are you trying to please?<br/><br/>Maybe this was an attempt at irony. The story starts with Ariel as a slave and it ends with Ariel as a slave again. It's just too bad.<br/><br/>Aside from that. Awesome.<br/><br/><br/><br/>]]></body>
