Maven or Cal???

Christina Pham At first I shipped Mare and Maven, but then the plot twist in the end. It got me like," WTF. HOLD MY PURSE".

*SPOILER* [[but then Cal fought for his life to save Mare and Maven's just there rooting like a blood thirsty monster next to his blood thirsty mother.]]

So I'm torn. I don't really care who Mare ends up with because I love Mare and Cal both. But as the story progresses maybe I'll change my mind. WHO KNOWS! IM PUMPED FOR THE NEXT BOOK (even though 1 year is wayyy too long)!!!!


Christina Pham ^ UM I MEANT MAVEN AND CAL BOTH. Not Mare and Cal both ;)

Maxine CAL!!! He's kinda like Warner from Shatter me!

Saira i liked them both in the beginning but then Maven's betrayal broke my heart. Marven could have happened and it would have been so sweet, i was actually fooled into thinking that he was the sweet teenager, but i was wrong.

saaaaaaame!!"

i didn't trust him either but i did feel a little bit sorry for him, that was until he did all those things


message 156: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm totally team Cal! I know that Maven was really sweet and cute at first but then he did... [I won't say in case you're still reading] but I've always liked Cal more because he just seemed much more attractive.
In a perfect world Mare could have Maven and I would have Cal. XD

deedee megadoodoo For everyone who has compared Cal and Maven with Adam and Warner from Shatter Me
WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F
NO. Maven freaking has mommy and daddy issues that makes him do shitty things. Like I don't know. Kill his father, frame his brother, lie to an enslaved race trying to rebel to save their enslaved race, then kill the girl he supposedly "loves" but how do we know cause he's been lying this whole time, and then kill his own brother who's been on his side the whole time.
Warner was a dick. But he was a low key balanced person.
Maven is just out of control.

I am team Do Not End Up With Maven.

Not that I like Mare all that much because she didn't take responsibility for a lot of the things she did but I wouldn't mind it if a freaking love octagon came up or if she ended up with Cal, Kilorn, or just no one because she is a woman who don't need no man.
Just. Not. Maven.


Katrina♡•• Ha-ha that well day would be the...what about Kilorn??

The feels #100% accurate


Sara 🩵 MAREVEN! MAREVEN! MAREVAN! I still love him so much and it would be so amazingly fantastic if he changed just for Mare and so romantic. I don't like Cal and Mare because it so typical romance story. The girl falls for the strong handsome male. It would be so interesting for once if the main character fall in love with the bad guy and changes him because he also loves her so much. I just think that would be a more interesting and non-typical way to go so this doesn't end up like a typical romance like the Vampire Academy series or the Mortal Instrument series or the Shadow Falls series. I loved all those books but the romances never really pulled at my heart because the girl always fell for the strong badass male and never the nice sensitive guy which I feel I would go for if I were in their situation. I know many people think Maven is a psychopath but if you pull all the layers away you see a boy who was living in the shadow of his brother his whole life, knowing his father favored his brother and also the fact that his mother is a controlling psycho. With his fathers neglect it probably wasn't hard for his mother, the only parent who showed him love, to manipulate him into believing that this was the best option. So I still have hope for Maven and I believe that he can change and that Mare will remember all the good in him and bring him back to being our sweet romantic Maven.

I agree with you 100% :) This is the exact reason why I believe the series can be more interesting... the change from a monster to a sweetheart and the process.I really enjoy reading books like this and it is interesting because most authors go for the typical good guy winning in the end.


Siobhan Cal ALL THE WAY. He's so good for Mare, and they had real chemistry. Whereas Maven is a greedy little monster. I was so happy towards the end when they ended up together even if it wasn't romantic. This love triangle reminds me SO MUCH of the TVD love triangle with Stelena and Delena. I know, different things, people. My point is, I don't care if the chemistry is a cliche fairytale, bc she's a RED QUEEN. And honestly, I think Maven will only get more power drunk and in the Glass Sword he'll become the villain.

Courtney I wasn't really a fan of Cal. I loved Maven so much though. I was so shocked when he turned out to be the villain of the story.


message 167: by [deleted user] (new)

I think that most people love Cal (Including me) be side of what Maven did. I mean before hand I liked him but I still loved Cal more. The event just made me hate Maven.


Astoria I feel like Maven lost his chance. He is not just a 'bad boy' type anymore, he is the guy that betrayed Mare, he plotted to have his father murder, and blamed his brother for it. Mare trusted him the most, and he manipulated her the whole time. That said, I am not sure what Cal and Mare's chances for ending up together are.

I agree with what you said. We may want Mare and Maven to get back together but the betrayal was to great for them to ever even be friends again.
But honestly I would still pick Maven over Cal cause Cal kinda annoyed me at the end. lol

Astoria I want to say Cal, but I also wonder about Kilorn.


Katrina♡•• MARVEN!!!! I will go down with my SHIP!


Violeta I love them both, but for Mare I'm Team Cal but I'll be happy if Maven and Mare have a little affair in the next books. But Cal and Mare for the endgame

Piper Isn't Maven the bad guy and a traitor?
Why is there even a discussion on this?

message 186: by [deleted user] (new)

If Maven is being controlled then there is a small chance I might ship him with Mare, but for now it's Cal.


message 187: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor Maven !!! (Though he's a *censored* towards the end) I think that him and Mare would be great together if he somehow gets his sh!t together. But Mare did say that she will kill him, I don't feel like this ship will be canon. I like Cal, but Maven forever !


message 188: by [deleted user] (new)

I think Victoria will give them a chance but I think Cal has it in the end.


message 189: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor Yeah, I don't think that Mare will be able to trust Maven anymore after all he's done, but as ppl are saying maybe Elara was controlling him.
I have a funny feeling that Mare and Cal will be canon as much as I love Maven :(


message 190: by [deleted user] (new)

I know its mean but I'm for Cal. I think that Maven should get a shot but it should be Cal in the end. He's been loyal to her (so far!!!)


message 191: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor I don't know WHAT Victoria will have in store for us, but judging from how she worked through that huge betrayal (I should have saw it coming, it was too good to be true for a prince to join a rebellion against the royal family and Silvers) but I didn't. I hope they don't kill Cal, 'cause I really like him, but it's so unpredictable.


message 192: by [deleted user] (new)

IF SHE KILLS CAL I SWEAR I WILL START A RIOT!

But I think Maven will probably help the guards again but then betray again afterwards.

Taylor Betrayals.



Betrayals everywhere.


(Insert Toy Story meme)


message 194: by [deleted user] (new)

Haha. Exactly. The one book series which is so effing unpredictable.


Tenmodo My gut feeling is saying that mare n maven will get a chance BUT she will end up with cal most likely which would be the saddest thing on earth and SOOOO cliche!!!

Omg yesssss that kinda might look like maven :))


Tenmodo I don't get why people would say cal bcoz cal kissed his brothers fiancé... wheres the brotherly love? anyways its totally understandable as to why maven did that!!! so mare and maven are the BEST COUPLE and if not then I would suffice with kilorn but just not cal!!


Astoria Mainy wrote: "I don't get why people would say cal bcoz cal kissed his brothers fiancé... wheres the brotherly love? anyways its totally understandable as to why maven did that!!! so mare and maven are the BEST ..."

How is Cal kissing Mare any worse than Maven manipulating Mare into trusting him, and plotting to murder his own father. Sure Maven wasn't the one forcing Cal to kill their father- a father whom Cal loved dearly-, but Maven is just as guilty as his mother.


Tenmodo Astoria wrote: "Mainy wrote: "I don't get why people would say cal bcoz cal kissed his brothers fiancé... wheres the brotherly love? anyways its totally understandable as to why maven did that!!! so mare and maven..."

BUT cal was the first to betray his own brother... maven has his reasons..just stating the facts..maybe if the father wasnt so bias and loved maven as equally as cal this wouldnt hv happened BUT its jst a story so dnt get riled up!

Taylor Ok, if Elara isn't controlling him or brainwashing him, I am so done with Maven. Seriously, I ship him and Mare, but if that was in his own free will-- killing his father, betraying his brother and betrothed, sending them into an arena, then I have no hope for him,
