I liked the trilogy. That was the problem. Two and two-thirds good books
ruined by an ending that really, REALLY needed a better explanation than
"Oh, there's a prophecy about this girl."

I can take books which don't explain. But if you explain everything else,
you gotta explain that bit. And most of the stuff had explanations carefully
worked in. That didn't, and I haven't been able to come up with one...
