I seem to remember Modesitt's Towers of the Sunset had a romance element and a happy ending. *NM* PhotoJim Send a noteboard - 12/04/2011 05:23:39 PM
Last night, I finished a series with an unexpected ending. Literarily speaking, I appreciated the themes. Emotionally speaking, WAAAAAAAAHHHHHH :(

I'm still upset, even after sleeping it off. So! I want some good stories with HAPPY endings! I don't mind if some people die, but I want happily ever after for the main characters. Bonus points for romance. :blush:

CLARIFICATION: bonus points for stories WITH romance, not romance stories. I would like fantasy for this.
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting!

Not to be rude but who are you? And I suppose equally important, where are we?

Or Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, perhaps? Camilla - 12/04/2011 07:11:30 PM 1569 Views
I was gonna suggest JS & MN as well. And Christie generally cheers me up as well, true. *NM* Legolas - 12/04/2011 07:20:44 PM 917 Views

Room is great, but hardly qualifies as mind candy if you ask me... Legolas - 12/04/2011 07:23:10 PM 1683 Views
Ghavrel doesn't ask for mind candy in his original post. Rebekah - 12/04/2011 07:40:23 PM 1636 Views
