This. This right here. This is what is wrong with the world todayCausing the confusion over trilogies is the grandaddy of all pseudo trilogies:
The Lord of the Rings
Yes! I said it - LOTR is NOT a trilogy. A trilogy is three complete novels that are related to each other, like 2001 and 2010 are related to each other
LOTR is one story divided into 6 sections sold under 3 covers. There is no way The Fellowship of the Ring could be sold as a novel, any publisher on earth would throw it back and say "I hate the ending"
After LOTR sent the term trilogy spiraling downwards trailing smoke, anything can call itself a trilogy now.
