The End (spoilers obviously)

I wasn't a big fan of the ending. I just thought it was kinda cliche that Kartik was sacraficed to keep Gemma alive. I did like how Gemma dreamt of him waiting across the river. I also didn't like the 6 or so chapters after Kartik's death. But Gemma's choice to move to New York was a good way to end the book. Something I didn't understand was Gemma's outburst of feminism when she was talking to Mrs. what's her face (I forgot her name haha, the headmistress of Spence). It was a strong statement but a little random.

Ok some questions for discussion:

1. Did you like the ending?

2. What are your thoughts on the final battle?

3. How about post-battle?

4. HOW LONG WHERE YOU IN DEPRESSION AFTER KARTIK'S DEATH?

I was depressed for like 3 hours. He's still alive in my mind, haha.

Character Discussion: FAB FOUR.

Yes, yes I know it's looking shabby but I've got a 5 day weekend to fix it up!

In the meantime, I thought we'd get something rolling about the main characters. Here's how it will go: I'll ask a few questions, answer them with my thoughts, then you're free to give your own opinions in the comments. Don't feel limited to the questions I asked but try and keep the discussion to Gemma, Felicity, Ann and Pippa for this post.

1. Do you like Gemma as the heroin of the trilogy?

2. How do you like Felicity, Ann and Pippa?

Personally, I like Gemma because she is awkward and less than perfect. 

At first I hated Felicity, but I've really gotten to like her. It was interesting to see her weakness (the thing with Polly and the admiral) but I hate how she takes advantage of Gemma. 

I've never like Pippa! I've been trying to figure out if she's always been "evil" or if she turned bad after she entered the realms for good. I'm starting to think she was always bad but there was never an oppurtunity for her to showcase it. She is selfish and everything, but I have have a feeling that if she was alive she would still be mean to Mr. Darcy (haha).

Ann. I want to kill her. She needs a backbone and some more personality. All she does is feel sorry for herself. She's depressed and that's ok but ONE redeeming quality would be nice. 

Ok, discuss! Please, I BEG YOU NOT TO SPOIL THE ENDING OF THE LAST BOOK FOR ME!

Kartik will have a character discussion of his own once I finish :)
