How does the crisis concludes fit longer books? *puzzled* I just supported it because the words sounded more interesting, suspenseful, and captivating than just "The gloom looms" I think what GemGerl was mistooken for was that The Gloom Looms and the Crisis Concludes were both two individual boxsets.

The Crisis Concludes for the alliteration

It's also got more action and exitement than Gloom and looms. It just does. Gloom looms sounds dull and boring/depressing.

I like The Crisis Concludes. It sounds like it would be more interesting to read.

"Crisis" is a more dramatic word than "Gloom", and "Concludes" a more dramatic-sounding verb than "Looms". Although "Crisis Concludes" is rather inaccurate for books 10-12, as this section's title it was intended to refer to all of the last four books.

Definately 'The Crises Concludes'. For reasons stated above.

Yes, there is the minor drawback of it being a completely inaccurate title...

Yes, there is the minor drawback of it being a completely inaccurate title... It could be modified to "The Crisis Continues" or something similar if it's meant to refer to books 10-12. Basically, I think "crisis" is a cooler word than "gloom", more dramatic at least.

Yes, I like how it sounds and I like the overall 'sense' of the word better than simply 'gloom' Gloom looms is all anti-suspenseful and sounds like the series is dragging its feet or something rather than coming to a climax like 'crisis concludes'

If it was The Doom Looms, I'd consider it. As things stand, I'm much more inclined to go with The Crisis Concludes, despite any inaccuracy.

You have a good point there. Doom would be much more intriguing than gloom.
