Shimin Uhm... NO YOU'RE NOT! I am team Cal all the way! Every time they are together I am making inhumane noises and praying they are gonna finally make out, get married, have babies and live happily ever after.
Konstantina✨️ OMG ME!!!! I ship them so much, every time they're near each other, I'm just like "Now kiss."
Gillian You are not alone!!!!!! I was shipping Mare and Cal together from the beginning. :)
Honestly I never trusted Maven, he was too perfect in Red Queen. I never thought Kilorn had a chance like many thought as well. I know I am writing a lot for a small question, but I hope Mare and Cal end up together!!!
I agree with you Ariana, I think people must be twisted to think that is okay and a good thing for Maven and Mare to end up together! I want puke as well.
I think Cal is a dream boat, and for crying out loud would those two make it official if they are a thing or not!?
Sarah Maybe a more balanced (read: old lady) approach here. I think they are going to end up together, but both are going to have to grow a whole lot first. You really can't sustain a relationship unless you know and understand each other (trust me, married for 18 years and together for 20) and can also accept each others' differences and grow together. Otherwise, I promise, it won't work, however many burning kisses and half-lidded eyes there may be at the beginning! Some romance suits the silly fairy tale and that's fine, but I like that this author is going deeper and darker in her books & characters and hope she keeps it up to a logical conclusion. ie Cal & Mare together, but totally understanding each other.
Ellie I don't understand why anyone would ship Mare and Maven. I never trusted Maven and he still can't be trusted IDK why anyone thinks she should trust him and that they should be a thing! Cal on the other hand is perfect for her
♡Green Eyed Girl♡ I'm with you they would be adorable together, they are one of my favourite ships and if they don't end up together I don't know what I am going to do with my life
Katrin Velichkova Hah, we are all Mare and Cal shippers here! I don't get how some people can ship Mare and Maven it's just impossible, how can Mare trust that idiot again?! I can't wait to see Cal and Mare officially together because I don't see any other guy as perfect as him omg!
Ariana Same I ship them, and when people ship Mare and Maven I want to puke that guy is horrible, but Cal is just Gucci I love him. Every time they talk I am just like, so are you guys making it official and dating or are you kissing?
Cynthia NO NO NO NO. CAL IS MY BABY. I DEFINITELY SHIP MARE AND CAL.
Alexandra Most def. NOT!!
I had some silent hope till the last page o_o
Sandra Escobar Mare & Cal forever!! Their connection is so deep, there is no way that Maven is a better match for Mare. Cal and Mare have suffered through so much together and Maven is beyond saving.
Joyce My heart hurts every time I think about Mare and Cal. I will be on this ship until it sinks.
Tessa Dude from the moment they met I was all Cal & Mare!
Alya Dhiva you're NOT alone!
i ship them so mcuh!!!
Khanaja Scott I'm really sad, because she doesn't want to be with Kilorn. I can't be the only one shipping them, right? It's this whole debacle about Maven and Cal, but Kilorn has been there since the very first chapter. They say it's this sister/brother things, but I know it's more. I CANNOT be the only one! :(
Nicole I am so with you on this one!
Jaz Leigh How can anyone NOT ship Mare and Cal!?!?! <3
Cecelia OMG yes. I keep waiting and hoping he will kiss her again but then he doesn't and I get mad at him for a while
Alyssa YES!!!!!!! Cal and Mare are the most amazing couple ever!!!! Kilorn never stood a chance and Maven, I just want gone. If Cal and Mare don't end up together I will literally die! They need to be together or my universe will come crashing down! I'm so Team Cal!!!!!
Sophia Team CAL all the way! Maven will notcome back and love Mare again! Cal is so much better!
Bella I'm with you. Team Cal! :)
Samantha MAL (Mare and Cal) forever! They are my new fav OTP
Xena Alexa I ship them too!!
Marley Cerveny i don't know how you can't ship Mare with Cal! Especially after Red Queen's ending!
Callie You are not alone. I've been shipping them ever since she tried to pickpocket him at the tavern in the first book.
Rin44 He's better than Maven, thats for sure
Julianna YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cal and mare
Ether I ship them , I really love them being together ♥
Thaleia Fogarty With you all the way! However, they both have a lot of growing to do before it's going to work. I'll be extremely disappointed if she ends up with Kilorn or Maven, the slimy rat. Cal is perfect for her, they both just need to realise it!
Nazu “Together we alternate back and forth, protecting our own retreat. When his flame falls, my lightning rises, and so on. Together, we have a chance.”

Masha Same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean is there any one else for her?
Saana I so ship Cal and Mare! Honestly I just want something more to happen between them! I feel like I am always taking a deep breath whenever they talk and then letting it out in disappointment.
SZA Hell yeah Im with you! I read this book in less than 4 hours and I need more. But anyways yeah, i just knew something was off with Maven...
Kate Johnson Im with you #Mal all the way!!!
Paige Gustafson I am totally a Care shipper!
YA_fantasy&Scifi_lover YESSSS!!! they keep getting so close to a relationship but it never happens and I'm ready to pull out my hair

lotus ✧˚ · . MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

#TeamCal #TeamMare
<3
Emma TRUST ME, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!! I ship Mare and Cal more than anything else!!!! I hate the Mare and Maven idea, because Maven tortured and hurt Mare while Cal did nothing to deliberatly hurt her! TEAM CAL ALL THE WAY!!!
Lacie mee too. lets make it offical. would there ship name be mal
Rizky I'm on your team.
Ashleigh Gates ME!!!! YES!!! Since the beginning when we met cal in Red Queen, I knew I would LOVE this character and it was when Mare was talking with the King and Queen and mare noticed the flame in Cal's eye the shipping fuel just clicked
Maddie yessssssssssssssss
Jordan✨ ok so i know alot of people hate maven but personally i think hes okay! i mean its TOTALLY obvious that mare and maven aren't going to end up together but i really hope that cal and mare can forgive him after all this is over bc his death would be just wrong.on another note i am HARDCORE MARE AND CAL!!! tiberias is such an amazing person and reminds me of warner from shatter me! maven cal and mare have been broken down and tore apart throughout the novel which i think makes them all either love/ hate each other! but ur definitely not the only one shipping cal and mare bc i love them together
Grace G. YASSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
Carm I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY I feel like everyone still ships mare and maven like no did you see what he did to her?
Estel·la team Cal forever
Annabeth Chase me too...I ship MarexCal ALL THE WAY!
Gaeth Hendens I don't know how much ships I have found in this book!
Mira ALWAYS!!! I will be so heartbroken if they do not end up together!
smelina TEAM CAL FTW!!!!!!!!
LiN I am so very much shipping Cal&Mare. I think we all from the start knew that Maven was very capable of his actions. Anyone can betray. Those words alone was a constant foreshadow throughout the book. Cal seemed to be doing the right thing as an heir to the throne where Maven was in the shadows. The shadows are always hiding something more sinster. I don't hate Maven though. I take my hat off to him. It was well played. Now, it's Mare's move and I'm only hoping when I read Glass Sword that she and Cal have learned from their mistakes.
Sydney Nguyen Noooo! Ur soo not alone in this one! I knew Maven was suspiciously perfect in the beginning. I keep hoping that Cal and Mare are gonna be together, get marries, have babies and all that stuff one day. ;))))
Weekdays NOPE you are not alone i ship them as well.
NunuRani noooo
I ship mare and maven
maven is clearly way better
Daskiergrace
This answer contains spoilers… (view spoiler)
annabelle I SHIPPPPPP
but then again, kilorn... idk. I don't know if mare deserves either tbh
Cara Alice Deatherage I think literally everybody 😂
Imogen Rough They are my favourite ship in the series
RaeofSunshine No I ship them too! In their own way they care about each other a lot.
Lucy I didn't like Maven from the beginning I felt like he was just forced t marry her and was treating her nice to make the forced engagement easier. Loved Cal so much more
Mace You are not alone!! I ship them with all my heart. ❤
Zila You are not alone.
I ship them so much!!!!!!!!!!
Pinecanoe I know that those too are going to end up together even though I have not read the 3rd and 4rth book in this series, I knew that they would end up together from that moment in the first book where Cal gives Mare a coin when she tries to pickpocket him, I knew it that this was "the man" for her and if they don't end up together (which is very unlikely), I will personally still believe that they ended up together and make my own fantasies about that.
Tieno Yes! Mare & Cal > Mare & Maven. Maven just... He seems a bit toxic in regards to Mare. He manipulates her and threatens the people she cares about. Not exactly the best grounds to build a relationship on. At least with Cal, there is more honesty and some honor to it. It doesn't feel... dirty. Anyways, I do feel like they need to understand themselves both more individually and grow before a good and stable relationship will surface!
CC Z yessss I ship them all the way!
Ilinca I ship the, so hard!!!!! It is just sooooo frustratiiiiiing
Asal yeah i know you have commented this 4 years ago but nowadays i have became a book nerd. not actually these days but like 6 month and akso i have been a slow reader so far but now i am better but i should not read like 24/7 cause i should study for university entrance exam. well i am with you now and i ship them toooooo much just like you
Noraaa I totally ship mare and Cal. I mean if there is anyone who is meant for Mare it has to be Cal. I would never ship maven and Cal. Like never ever.
Sadie Brown Mare and Cal do not mix. Maven and Mare mix tho :)).
Ashley TEAM CAL THROUGH AND THROUGH
Laura Studebaker Here's the thing... Mare & Cal... we so want it to happen. Mare with Maven? No, but at the same time... the girls always seem to want the troubled ones. Eh. I'm reading King's Cage so I guess I won't comment further.
therese ˃ᴗ˂ id go down with this ship :)
