Remember when Erin Hunter wrote trilogy arcs instead of six-book arcs? Yeah, me neither. This is literally a first. My guess (and that of a bunch of others as well) is that the Bravelands books weren't selling well enough, so they cut the second arc short and made it a trilogy instead.
I do fear what this means for future non-Warriors Erin Hunter series, however. I feel like I am one of the few who always likes checking out their other stuff aside from the cat series. I like Warriors fine, don't get me wrong, but I have always appreciated Hunter branching out to other animals and series rather than just keeping up the Warriors grindset and nothing else.
Ah well, like it or not, this is the final installment of at the very least arc two of Bravelands, possibly the entire series. Spoilers ahead.
