Ammonite 6: The Ending
It felt (to me at least) as though Nicola Griffith wrote the ending leaving herself the option to carry the story on with subsequent stories. So far as I know she never did this. Do you think this would have worked or is the world played out in terms of fiction?

I think there would be a lot more room to continue the story for anyone who enjoyed it enough to read it. How would this planet of people cope with the Company coming? How would the planet itself potentially deal with the Company? I wasn't too interested in reading more beyond the first book, but I could see it being done. This made me think back to the last question about the comparison to Avatar and I never watched any of the sequels for that either. One was enough for me and the story was played out after that.
Yes, what @kcaryths said.
I think this is why I became more irritated with the story as it progressed. I found myself incapable of believing that the characters in the story had no idea what inter-stellar travel and technology means e.g. the communications issues, computers. I think it might of worked if it had just been presented as a fantasy. The SF stuff worked against it.
The native characters in this story were from a non-technological society that had no access to technology for centuries. The Company people seemed to have trouble not thinking in terms of computers and communication. It was definitely Science Fiction for me.
