I just finished The Queen Of Nothing..

I already miss them so much.

It was a wonderful series that I read faster then I have any story in a long time. I read Cruel Prince immediately and waited for Queen Of Nothing to come out so I could read Wicked King and Queen of Nothing back to back.

Jude was a charcter unlike any other that I have read before. Her and Cardan’s relationship make me laugh, smile, and cry many times.

Reading those books kinda felt like going on a rollercoaster ride. So many ups and downs, schemes, and betrayals. I don’t know if I will enjoy a book as much ever agian.

Props to Holly Black for writing a great series and one that I will reread many times over. I know I will miss these charcters deeply.

that one extremely homoerotic painting of a babylonian man listening to a babylonian twink playing babylonian harp. that one

here is a way pll could have ended

(First of all, i gotta say i came up with the idea based on another post)

First of all, the girls NEVER find out who the hell A is (at least, not until LONG after). The table game thingie is over, and A never texts the girls again. Ever.

So they all have this big happy ending. Perfect couples, happy families, great jobs. Whatever.

The last scene, though, doesnt end with the girls. It shows Radleys Psyquiatric Hospital, and then a room. You see woman writing fiercely in a notebook. Her back is to the camera (we cant see her face). Finally, she closes it. Suddenly theres a knock on the door.

-Sara, it’s dinner time!- a nurse says.

The woman turns around. We dont recognise her.

-I’m not hungry.

-Don’t give me that. Be downstairs in five minutes, okay?- The door closes.

The woman faces her notebook again. This time, the camera focuses on it, so we can see what it says. She writes “The end” and closes it slowly.

And as it closes, we see the title on the cover:

“Pretty little liars; a series by Sara Shepard”.

A few years later, the woman would come out of Radley, and publish her book. Her shrink is not so content with it, as it was the idea of the book which lead her to torture those girls. She had obsessed with making the book so perfect, she had to actually LIVE it. To know how A would think, she had to be A.

Basically, Sara Shepard is A. And the girls finally learn this much later, when they read a new trending book-saga called “Pretty little liars”. They even hear there might be a TV series based on the books as well…

Now THAT would have been an ending.
