Talk:Endless Summer, Book 3/@comment-27680174-20171223015107/@comment-3452092-20171223160937

Honestly? My guess would be indifference. It doesn't change the first two books one whit. It also doesn't change the fact that the third book still has to honor the romances they established in the first two books or the system of romance they established in the second book. It also doesn't change the fact that there isn't a single book in their repetroir that isn't romance in genre or at least subgenre (although a couple come close). It's just a label. There are still as much or as little romance as they were last week. They're probably just trying to organize things a little better so that they don't have everything (with a couple exceptions that I've never seen there) in the romance category. Or rather are picking the genre only and not the subgenre. . . and I think they failed here, because as far as I'm concerned Endless Summer is first and formost fantasy (or maybe sci-fi since they keep showing how technology did this thing or that thing, so it might actually be sci-fi), mystery second, and romance third.

I'd actually love to see them do a long book that had no romance or nearly none. I think they closest they get is The Haunting of Braidwood Manor with Most Wanted in second place. . . and both of those definitely have romance in them, just low enough that you might get away with not putting either one in a subgenre of romance. . . maybe.
