In every good story there is a climax that is followed by a resolution, but what if there was no resolution at the end of the story? That would make it a bad story, right? Natahsa Preston proves this statement wrong in many ways.
Preston wrote eleven young adult mystery books in her career. Every single one of these books end on a cliffhanger. This drives a common reader insane, not knowing how it ends. It sparks creativity in the reader’s mind in return. This is what separates Preston from all the other writers of this generation. By not concluding the story it causes the reader to think of their own ending.
So how do you solve a mystery? It’s simple, Preston is subtly forcing us to use our imaginations to solve the mystery ourselves. The experience isn’t fun if we are being told how to think. Natasha Preston is single handedly inspiring the new generation to think for themselves and form their own opinion, simply by ending all of her stories on a cliffhanger.
