Probably shouldn't read this if you haven't read Nightfall.***** Okay, I just finished Nightfall yesterday, and all I can say is: WTF??? I went into it knowing the rather negative reviews, and I was ok with everything up until the last few chapters. Which... I mean, wings? Random 'human' power?? Seriously? I am loyal enough to LJ Smith that I will still read the upcoming 2 books, but geeze, I sure hope she comes up with better endings that don't read like she just grasped for every magical/mythical idea she could and threw it in there. I can only tolerate so much Deus ex machina. Which is all to say, if CW does stick with the 7-book storyline, I hope that they will use their artistic license and do some judicious plot-editing with Nightfall. ***CAUTION: Comment is spoilerish for Nightfall.

NOW I get it. It all makes sense. Ok. *headdesk* “The Return trilogy may very well be playing a role in the TV series.”

I mean, we all read Nightfall, and can it seriously be made into TV without them changing a LOT of stuff? To be honest, I don’t know how I feel about they basing the series on The Return Trilogy.
