I think talk of a "trilogy" is just publisher-speak. As far as I can make out, it's just a series of which three books happen to have been more or less finished by the author's death.

:If one follows my dictionary's definition of a trilogy as three works connected by subject matter, then the three novels constitute a trilogy. If you expect a trilogy to have been planned as an artistic unity from the beginning, then I doubt whether it is the case. In publisher-speak these days "trilogy" just means a very long novel divided into three separate publications, and for all I know that may have become the dominant meaning.--[[User:Martin Wyatt|Martin Wyatt]] ([[User talk:Martin Wyatt|talk]]) 18:03, 13 October 2015 (UTC) | |||
