I think Gregor should have stayed if not visited the underland sometimes. Also when his sister gets older will he tell her the truth? It should not have ended with him leaving the underland forever.

It was really emotional at the end, it was fantastic. After reading it, it was like coming out of a world and into another with a brand-new piece of info.
The ending was so....Yeah I hated/loved it. It was so sad and gloomy and REALISTIC uggghhhh. I think there should definitely, definitely be some kind of sequel, but not about Boots. Probably bout Gregor when he's older. He can't just put the Underland behind him, move to Virginia and forget all about being a rage and a warrior and how much he loves Luxa. I wish this series was more popular so Collins would make a movie or sequel or ANYTHING at all for it...
It's tooooooooo tragical. Just a beautiful ending.
PLEASE make another one they were so amazing!! Comment back if you agree, we can make this happen!!
I know they are 10 years old but seriously who else wants to know what is happening with in the underland right now! ME!
Please make another one they were SOOO good!! Comment back if your agree!!
Meg wrote: "uh........did you actually read this?"Agreed. Hey I'm actually thinking about starting a huge thing to convince her to make another book. I've done the research and trust me, there are plenty of people who would vote for it!
Share this site with your friends and most importantly tell them to read the books!! I'm sure they will agree!!
the reason that the ending is such a good one, though sad, is because it makes you keep wondering and the story can go so many ways in you head after the end based on your opinions. This is what makes the end of a book a good one. I'm not saying it is the only type of good endings but it is one of them.
I wish they would have added a 6th book where the underland is being attacked by these mutant-like creatures, gregor then finds the ultimate weapon by going on a quest to fight back. Luxa got her head eaten/chopped off by one of the mutants and gregor didn't get to save her in time, he gets a new super ability making him able to move really fast and dodge things, also slow down time. He wins the war and has to decide if he will be the king or just go back home and never come back until and emergency.
So is there going to be a movie about these books or a 6th book?
You know, I really want a book 6 becuz Gregor and Luxa are menat to be
I thought the ending was great, good way to end it. I would more than happy if a 6th book was released about the overlanders invading. Or maybe another prophecy involving someone Gregor brings to the Underland and he has to help them with the prophecy because he knows what it is like to be in a prophecy and he understands what it is like to be an overlander in the Underland.
That could be a good 6th book. I think it would be great to introduce a new character. Though if she does write a 6th book, it should also involve Gregor choosing to stay in the Underland or return home...
Sunny wrote: "I loved Ares... And I definitely want Gregor to return. He is destined for Luxa, did anyone else see that?"I saw that it was obvious and I like what meg said to but he should have a few more adventures before that and more romantic moments with Luxa and in the end choose the underland because of her.
Oh and the thing about Ares she was raping it up so she killed some of the characters which I hate when they do that
Yes! I really think she should write a 6th book!
Yo its been like a year since I finished and i'm still depressed and s***. Suzanne, I don't give a f***, make another book damnit! Too good a story to have it end unsatisfactory as it did.
Just finishing up rereading the series. The way I see it is Gregor had 2 choices depending on what his parents decided:1. Move to the family farm in Virginia. I see a pathway that leads from Virginia to the Uncharted Lands. Maybe Hazard is sent to find Gregor, as he will look most like an Overlander. He has Mrs. Cormaci to help him get from NYC to Virginia. Also, Gregor could always move there himself if ya want it to be that far in the future.
2. Stay, knowing that their children can't just forget everything. I wouldn't say Gregor lives there. I would say he goes back and forth. Luxa and him take things slow. She eventually does invite him to her coronation or whatever at 15 and the entire family comes down, including Mrs. Cormaci. This is also Gregor's grandmother's first time down. By this time, Mrs. Cormaci has a whole book of photos she has had Gregor take down in the Underland. Also, Luxa even invites some stingers to the event after the Marks of Secret. There is an obsidian black bat statue in Ares' memory. Hazard is helping Howard in the hospital, still holding up Luxa's promise to never allow him to become a warrior. He wishes to travel and help all creatures in the Underland. With all my thinking on the scenario, this is obviously the one I prefer and I see this as the outcome I imagine when I think of these characters living happily. Luxa will be so happy the first time he comes back down with news that he is staying.

I like the second idea better too, except I think it would create more of a conflict and better story line if Hazard is sort of a rebel, and tries to find ways to dismiss the promise that he made to Luxa about never becoming a warrior. I also think that 16 is a good age to return to the Underland for Gregor, and Luxa is 15. I also think that if a 6th book is written, the intro should focus on the depression that Gregor and Luxa went through after being separated. Then when they are finally reunited it will be legit amazing/satisfying.
I read these books last summer and I still get depressed when thinking about the ending of the 5th book. The stories will always remain in my soul....unfinished.
imagine a ending like this. gregor finds another entrance to the underland on the farm in Virginia that opens up into the uncharted lands wanders in them for a few days and then it ends with "suddenly I herd the voice of someone I thought I would never see again say " gregor?
Noah wrote: "imagine a ending like this. gregor finds another entrance to the underland on the farm in Virginia that opens up into the uncharted lands wanders in them for a few days and then it ends with "sudde..."Woah thats actually a good idea! Bouncing off your idea: what if Gregor fights with other creatures he finds in the unchartend lands who are being oppressed by an unknown enemy. As the war between the two sides thickens, Gregor finally finds out who the enemies are-Regalians. And what's more, guess who is now the leader of Regalia and the one Gregor must fight against: Luxa!
What do you think?
When I first read the series when I was younger, I was dissapointed. Now that I have read the series when I am older, I do think it does deliver a satisfying conclusion to a great series.
What if they made it so the overlanders would have to be led into the underworld by Gregor because some sort of war was going on outside and he had to save everyone. I would like something about the overlanders having to adapt to the underworld. But then there would be hardships like the diseases that the overlanders would bring. I want to know how the underworld would react to that.
book 6 idea:Gregor and The Cursed Pages:Gregor's family decide to stay in New York and he asks his mum if he can visit the underland to tell Luxa and his friends the good news. He spends the night with them and boots.
All goes well and next morning, Vikus calls for him to ask him about the broken sword. Gregor told him that he broke the sword to symbolise killing the warrior in himself. But as he put the sword down something catches his eye.
He spots a price of paper poking out of the hilt and pulls it out. Vikus asks what it is. Another prophecy. Luxa walks in with hazard and says if he wants to take boots on a flight. When she sees the paper she says "Gregor, what is that..."
He says "see for yourself,"handing it to her
She reads the title and stops dead.
"Another prophecy...oh Gregor don't tell me it's about you" they all read it. Another quest awaits Gregor. But this time it says go to the place that regalia makes. Gregor is confused. But both Vikus and Luxa look worried. The paths draw out a symbol that mean a dangerous sea and Gregor reds the rest of the prophecy saying he, and each of his friends, must go and find the Cursed Pages (an enchanted book) that someone Has read out of and cursed the rats. Ripred is coughing and breathing hoarsly
Adventure (always asking each other who did it)
Find book and person at it - have to fight but he is a great fighter. Go back to regalia with him. Bring him before council Vikus sees him once and goes pale(r).
Guy says his name and he thought rats and humans were at war that's why he did it.
Luxa says that he was lead under false circumstances and should not be punished. Gregor asks Luxa if she knew him. No. Vikus found them.
"Luxa, I need to tell you something"
Luxa says nothing
"I have told you that you are an only child for so long now.... but no. (Name of book reader) is your brother. He ran away before you were born and never came back we assumed he was dead.
Story fill in
Gregor decides that he wants to live in the underland as he has more friends there. His mum at first says no, and why.
Gregor says "I like it there."
His dad "no it's not that I can tell..."
Lizzie " we won't judge you Gregor..."
Gregor "ok fine. I want to live in regalia because I want to live with Luxa. There. I've said it."
*crying* Mum " but we will never see you again."
Gregor "Yes you will mum. I will keep in regular touch by the grate and you can come and see me any time you like."
Finally agrees say goodbyes. Boots says to say hi to temp. Cut to underland and Gregor telling regalia the news.
someone end the story please. idk i have no ideas
I think that they could just stay in New York and just visit Luxa or Luxa could just give up being the queen and live in the overland with Gregor
He technically killed the warrior so he could stay in NY and go down everyday, week, etc... Just a thought
I think that perhaps the last book told the story of him getting involved in school in Virginia and found a kid peculiar, and that kid is actually a vicious rat and the underlanders and gregor used a cross-world tracking device to communicate and stop the rat from causing damage to the worlds, and finally at the end they found out that the rat is actually only a signal of the curse of the overlanders and the underlanders and gregor must continue to save the overland!
Yes, the ending lacked the warm and fuzzies we usually look for in a series but I think she made the only decision about it she could- the thing she most wanted to end on was the idea of hope- if it had been about Gregor staying with Luxa or visiting the underlands all the time, that wouldnt have rang true. For one thing, he couldn’t live with a foot in each world. And he couldn’t have his family living in the under land- no on wanted to. Honestly Gregor doesn’t either- he never cared for the place, it was the people he loved. But he loved his family most of all and thats why he couldn’t stay- he couldn’t keep putting his family through the terror of him disappearing for days at a time bc he got stranded after an avalanche after a picnic. He was very right when he stated he didn’t fit in anywhere.The author was also making a statement- that war is not something restricted to the over lands. The plight of Gregor at the end of the book mirrors soldiers coming home from war- in a lot of ways having to start over, relearn how to live, the strangeness of things that used to be commonplace. She wanted to end the book on a note for a hopeful future- watching Boots grow. I think she succeeded in that, but honestly, it was pretty abrupt (if ever a prologue was needed…) I think it’s a little deep for a kids book, there’s nothing wrong with cushioning the harsh realities of life with a little HEA. Even Hunger Games had that…
