The fantasy fiction trilogy is becoming more and more popular in the genre. Series of three or more books dominate the marketplace and succeed in brining fantasy fiction to fans.

Not only do readers expect a satisfying conclusion at the end of each fantasy fiction book, publishers are more apt to take a chance on one book than an entire trilogy.
