Kartik was the most exceptional character ever...and then he became a tree.

LONG story!

This is kinda like a memorial site for Kartik. Remember him, gush about him, cry, weep, blow your nose - whatever it takes, just remember that this guy was once an actual guy, who was in love with a girl and to save her...

He turned into a tree.

Seriously.

I STILL can't believe it and I read the book like nearly two years ago!!!! I cried so hard at the end of the third one, my mum thought someone died. She wasn't far off...technically Kartik still lives...as a tree...or a really hot dryad!!

Great idea - Gemma Doyle #4: Kartik the Hot Dryad.

I'm liking it already!

Kartik was my favorite character and then he got turned into a tree, A TREE!!!!! It was a difficult time for me...

Gemma and Kartik were so perfect and then...well the rest is just sad, but I was so happy when they finally got together, and of course it was just to good to be true.

My dad walked in on me crying like a Titanic survivor!!:D He was about to ask what was wrong, but caught sight of the book and gave a great big sigh!

I had a similar experience but with my mom! Haha if she sees me crying and sees a book within close proximity she doesn't even bother to ask anymore!

Ok. Let me re-phrase that...read book 3 until the end bit where everyone goes through a portal thingy and into this major battle. Then stop. Pick up a piece of paper. And write your own ending!:D

Ending BOOKNUT style!

Kartik: *stands up* I will just go get-
Gemma: STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!
Kartik: *kneels by her side* What is it, Gemma? Is it the wound-?
Gemma: No...I simply *cough* wish for you to stay by my side.
Kartik: But..but I just came up with this incredibly stupid idea about how to save the day that involves me sacrificing myself needlessly!
Gemma: I know, but I had a much better idea...sacrifice the bad guy!
Kartik: What a SPLENDID idea! *sacrifices bad guy to soul-sucking tree*
*everyone is happy*
Kartike: Gemma *kneels* will you marry me?
Gemma: *gasps* What a shockingly surprising occurrence! I did not expect this at all! Of course I will marry you, because you are the hottest guy I have ever met and I wish to be a rebellious teenager whose mother is conveniently not here to reprimand me and whose father has lost his mind!
Kartik: Oh Gemma! *they embrace*
Gemma: You know, I had the strangest dream that you turned into a tree, and then I left to travel the world alone always to be parted from you.
Kartik: *fondly* Oh you and your dreams, Gemma!

*both turn to the audience and smile into the sunset*
*credits*
THE END.
