Katie answers “Aric or Jack? Please no hate, just comment...”

Starrisa asked this question about From the Grave (The Arcana Chronicles, #6):

Aric or Jack? Please no hate, just comment with your reason if you need to, please be kind :) Personally while I like both, I prefer Aric more <3 Although the ideal solution is for both of them to dump Evie and let her get a taste of her own medicine...jk XDD

They each have a strong case why they are the man for Evie and I think Kresley Cole wrote to perfection about how difficult the decision is. Evie's heart is divided. I know many readers are hating on Evie but I sympathise with her. Aric had finally had enough of his poisonous princess and treated her as such in this round of the game. Finally though, he had a pure of heart princess and is regretful that for once, they could have had an easy run of being together. Unfortunately, he treated her badly and she found comfort in Jack's sweet arms. As a result - her heart is torn. I am torn too.

Looking on the outside in, I'd say Aric - purely as he has waited many many many many years for this. However, I say this knowing that Evie is leaving part of her heart with Jack. With the number of books I've read whilst waiting for this final book to come out, my eyes have been opened to different types of relationships and put to Kresley that perhaps they engage in MMF relationship. Evie's heart can remain in tact, both guys get along and respect each other, and they can work out how to stop the game and live HEA.

One can dream, right? I don't envy Kresley but do applaud her for the very difficult decision she has put to both Evie and the readers. The fact that we are torn shows how complex she has created this love triangle.

Unlike other readers, I am not hating on Evie - I sympathise with her and am glad I'm not in her shoes.(less)
