She murdered someone in cold blood. She plotted it out and killed him. And she got away with it. My issue is the author creating so much sympathy for this character and then dropping that on the reader in the final page. I feel dirty. I loved Kya, but what she did was terrible.

Now, knowing that she was guilty, I feel so uncomfortable.(less)
