PSA: Robin McKinley's Pegasus

Possibly everyone who could possibly be affected by this is already aware, since the book came out two months ago, but--it doesn't actually SAY anywhere that I can find, so I just want you all to know, in case you are all like "it's a book about a princess and her best friend who is a pegasus, I have a cold and want to read something lovely on my day off, how could this possibly go wrong?"

HUGE FLAMING CLIFFHANGER AND THE SECOND BOOK'S NOT DONE BEING WRITTEN YET, IS HOW.

I mean, don't get me wrong: it's about a princess and her best friend who is a pegasus! ♥♥♥! My buttons, look at how they are pushed just by the COVER! Yes! Yay!

There is nothing whatsoever that I didn't love about this book except for when I got to the last page and went WHAT? WHAT?! NOOOOOOOOOOO.

So. Just so you know: CLIFFHANGER. A LOT OF CLIFF. AND A LOT OF HANGING. I mean, would it have fucking killed them to say "Volume 1" or "Look for the sequel, forthcoming SOMEDAY" or "Watch out for that last page, it's a doozy" or something? o.O

...Anyway, if anybody has read the book please come squee with me so I will remember how much I loved the first 403 pages? Because Sylvi! and Ebon! ♥
