A Goodreads user asked:

Why is the ending soo sad. I'm a huge fan of Marissa Meyer, but why must he DIE. I cried for hours afterward finishing it. I had a feeling there happy end wasn't going to happen but why, why must he die? It aggravates me the more I think about it. That was the second saddest book I have every read. Another question is the Cow stay with Cath, or is he going to leave. I can't tell. Why is he a Martyr in the fist place?

Tori Woodie Meyer needed a reason drastic enough to turn a bubbly baking girl against all her family and friends and community.
