June 14: Books I Wish Had An Epilogue
This week’s TTT topic made me run down memory lane. Honestly, some books only stay on my mind because of the open-close ending. In some instances, I rather have the story have a closed ending because of the finality it makes me feel. Also, I am a nosy person and I would like to know everything. If the ending suits me then I’m happy, if not then at least I can move on. An epilogue is a supplement to the ending. In most Historical Romance books the epilogue either introduces the next couple pairing or the happily ever after in the story (wedding or family settling etc.). Either way, I am satisfied and left with contentment.
As for this post, I am to share some books that deserved an epilogue because the ending left me wondering a lot.
Again, another topic that seemed easy but was challenging. If I have a book that had an epilogue on this list, please pardon me. Some of the books here were read 5 to 4 years ago. However, I remember most of the story the epilogue if ever they have was not that memorable to me. Hopefully, this time my posts will be more consistent,
Thank you for reading and God bless,

Great list! I also like books with closed endings – it gives the book a sense of finality and closure, and books with open endings always feel unfinished for me.

I hope you get epilogues for all of these books someday. Or maybe even sequels! 🙂

Great list 🙂 I so agree for Cruel Prince. This series needs a novella to wrap it up. But I heard that actually the next project Holly Black in working on is Oak’s story. So maybe we’ll have our wish after all.

I’ve not read Normal People but I did watch the TV show and kind of wished it had had an episode showing where Marianne and Connell ended up, though we did get a good sense of where they were going with their futures so it wasn’t completely unsatisfying, I would have liked a little more.
