I loved the story until the last few chapters just wrapped up so jarringly! It felt like a cop-out... I wish that the ending had been longer, without the deus ex machine factor (as you so intelligently put it!), and that Mead had solved the problems more realistically. Oh, and I also wish that the characters had ended up in a different place... Still, overall, Mead wove a captivating tale!

I must say that I am still dying to read it, lol :D I am just SO EXCITED for it. I hope I will love it :D You make it seem awesome. Yay for romance :D But ugh. I don't like what you say the girl did to the romance years back. Hmph. How mean. But hope it is cute now, hih :) So glad you liked the book. But aw, I'm sorry the ending was disappointing to you :( I.. well, I love happy endings, lol, so I might not be bothered by this at all :) But I do get why it bothered you a lot. Sigh. I'm sorry.
