wait, what?

Has anybody read Lauren McLaughlin's (Re)cycler? I just finished it and I'm pretty sure I liked it except I am all like THAT IS A HECK OF A CLIFFHANGER FOR THE THIRD BOOK.

WHICH DOESN'T EXIST. AT ALL.

Like, she's on Facebook telling people she authorizes them to write book three.

So...

Anybody want to step on into the comments and plot book three? Because what the hell why is there no book three?

There's not going to be a book three?! But, I was assuming that was when everything else from the first two books was totally going to come together and pay off!

(I wrote a Cycler story for this last Yuletide and I totally on purpose *refrained* from writing a big Book-Three-ish story because I thought she was going to! Sheesh.)

She's not! I paged back through MONTHS of her blog to find snippets of the third novel she just completed and it's ... something else entirely.

I am trying to tell myself that maybe they didn't sell that well and she couldn't get her editor to go for a third book in the trilogy, because the idea of ending the story there ON PURPOSE fills me with RAGE the more I think about it. But, no. No third book forthcoming.
