Guys, are you choosing for yourself, or for Alyssa? If you are talking about your own choices, I'm not going to argue, because we all value different qualities in book characters.But where Alyssa is concerned, consider this: who is to make a better Red King than the wisdom keeper of Wonderland? ;)
And a girl is always better off with a guy who makes her feel free and alive and the kind of person she always wanted to be.
And remember how Alyssa felt in (view spoiler) : happy, powerful and treasured. What's more to ask from life?
I don't know who to choose Jen is strong and safe for short term and Morpheus is rebellious and opens her to new things. I think she should have Jen for the beginning and Morpheus after.

What has Morpheus done, to deserve to wait ANOTHER 75 years in the corner, watching the love of his life with someone else???? NO. JUST NO!
Olvliv wrote: "I think she should have Jen for the beginning and Morpheus after."When I see such suggestions now and then (and we know it was Ivory who put that idea in everyone's heads in the first place), I don't understand how people think it is okay to make someone you love wait for a human lifetime for his "turn" while you have fun with another guy. When you make a "clean cut" and end a relationship for good, that person can move on and have a life with someone else. But stringing Morpheus along for another 60 years is simply cruel. I can't believe Ivory suggested it in the first place. We all know that knowing the future from the vision, Morpheus won't be able to move along. He will still be waiting. Just because he is immortal does't mean he doesn't have feelings and his heart can't break. What will become of him over those years?
@ Nessy: Let me hug you. We get each other perfectly :) I wish people who suggest such things for Morpheus would put themselves in his place to see how it would feel. I wanted to shake Alyssa when she asked Morpheus to "wait for a little while". I wonder how her tongue didn't freeze in her mouth.
Idk I just cannot choose. And hey I'm just agreeing with a g. That's whay Her blog thing says and I've always thought that.
Olvliv wrote: "Idk I just cannot choose. And hey I'm just agreeing with a g. That's whay Her blog thing says and I've always thought that."What does her blog say?
And by the way, after seeing the trailer I got the impression that Alyssa is going to choose, not have both. Because her two guys are still represented as her two paths in life. I understand that Jeb is still represented as her human path, his makeover notwithstanding.
http://anita-authoraghoward.blogspot....Last question. But she prob wouldn't say who she would choose. And yes I agree with what you are saying I just love them both and they both love Alyssa.
Ok. I have always been leaning to morpheus. (Jeb has messed up more and is idk how to explain it but Ya) and morph is just morpheus. I just don't want to let jeb go because he loves her so much.I understand your thoughts and I agree I just don't wanna let one go. I have no clue who she'll choose tho.
I looked up that post and I REALLY hope A.G. was speaking about her own choices, not Alyssa's. And I'd be really appalled if this "he’s immortal and will still be young and up for some fun even in seventy years or so." is all A.G. as an author sees in Morpheus as a character. I hope she wasn't serious. Because from what I read in the books, Morpheus is way more than an immortal plaything for Alyssa to have after she is done with her human life. Please, don't do this. I really don't want to hate Alyssa after I read Ensnared.And who is going to rule her kingdom if she is gone for another 60-70 years?
@ Olvliv: I understand what you mean and I agree that both guys love Alyssa so much. But if Alyssa breaks up with Jeb, he will be able to move on, knowing that there is no hope of getting back together. But knowing his future, Morpheus will never be able to move on. And Alyssa won't be able to live with Jeb not thinking of Morpheus and what she saw in the vision.And I just want to add that if A.G. didn't want Alyssa to end up with Morpheus, she shouldn't have given him that hope of the future in the first place. I will never understand (and I'm sure many other people too) if after all those talks about saving Wonderland and human children and posting the baby picture on Pinterest it all will turn out to be a wild goose chase. It won't make sense, it will destroy Morpheus and it will be just cruel towards us readers. Because readers should be able to understand a story, and A.G. said she stayed true to her storyline. Everything in the story says that Alyssa is the best candidate for that throne, she can't go back to being a human girl again after all her queenly glory. Sometimes there is just no turning back. Character development should move forward, not backward.

Now that you say this some of my thoughts are stronger for her to choose morpheus. Thanks! You have really good writing and way of thinking btw.

I think so too *hugs* :)
And that was my exact reaction!!! I really had to put down the book for a moment and calm a little when she told him to wait! UHG!!! But then he shuted her mouth very well *wink-wink*

I'm talking about Alyssa, but ehhh... I still don't know... Jeb and Morpheus are both amazing!!
❀Quindi❀ wrote: "I'm talking about Alyssa, but ehhh... I still don't know... Jeb and Morpheus are both amazing!! "Well, Alyssa will have to make a choice in Ensnared, so you might as well try to choose too ;)
Where do you want Alyssa to end up anyway?
I have an idea! What if Alyssa goes all feminist and ends up choosing neither of the boys?
I don`t see how Morpheus will allow this to happen...
I agree with Nessy ;) He won't have any of this nonsense. As long as he is alive, he won't leave Alyssa alone. So she is stuck with him for life, which is ETERNITY. So Alyssa might as well accept her destiny, keep calm and love her king. LOL

Hahah I see what you did there :D
Lol, @Gergana. I don't think you mean feminist.Just to clarify, being a feminist does not mean being a "man-hater", or not choosing anybody.
Feminism is when you believe in equality for everyone, or, wish to see that everyone is treated well.
And yes, I agree with Nat and Nessy. Morph won't let Alyssa be alone. He'll always be there for her. :)
AND LMAO NAT. "Keep calm and love her King."
Let's hope we see it happen too.
@Aqsa I know what feminist means. I just meant that she might realise that she is strong enough and she doesn't need a guy. She can rule Wonderland herself.@Nessy, @Natalia I'm just saying it's a distinct posibility.(DON'T GET ME WRONG! I'M ALL TEAM MORPHEUS!)
@ Gergana: No worries, I know you are team Morph ;) Well, and she may not need a guy to rule (which I highly doubt, since she is very inexperienced and who is better to help her navigate through Wonderland politics that Morpheus), but she still needs Morpheus to make that baby. You know how they are the only two netherlings who can do the job ;)
@Gergana, Oh lol! I've been doing research for feminism for a paper and it's messing with my head. I took your perspective wrong, lol, sorry about that.@Nat Ahhh, holding on to the prophecy for dear life, haha. I don't like empty plots and I'm hoping IT HAPPENS. I don't want it to be "there" but not happen.
Like, it's a bomb that I would prefer would explode, lmao.

Yeah. Just imagine the red castle`s bedroom when this bomb explodes... :D

I brought up the fact that it could happen once too. I mean, I'd like her to choose, but she could decide neither. Of course, when I brought that up, everyone flipped out.
Katie wrote: "Of course, when I brought that up, everyone flipped out. "Haha, Katie ))) I don't remember if I was one of those people back then, but I just think that in a series so heavily based on a love triangle, there is just no way the heroine will end up alone. Like, seriously, all this drama about who to choose for 3 books and being so torn, and then suddenly she chooses no one? I don't see it happening, and I've never read a series where something like that happened too. Every time there is a love triangle, the girl always makes a choice.

Fair Enough

You know, this is starting to feel similar to the battle thread... albeit much milder.
