hey and what about Duncan you gotta love Duncan! i also hate wendy she is such a cheater!


I get that he 'believed' he was doing what was best for her, but it shouldn't have mattered.
I'm the type of person who would fight for love, no matter the consequences, but duty came first for Finn.
And it irritated me how he kept pushing her away, and I could never really connect with Finn.
Loki didn't care either way. He could have been a tracker or a manks - he still would have pursued Wendy, because he truly loved her. Despite the knock-backs from Wendy, he continued to fight for her. And THAT'S what love is all about!
Loki is 10 times better hands down!
But I'm glad Finn got a happy ending!
;-)




The night *before* her wedding - Finn goes to Wendy and because he knows she has to marry, and not him, he offers her one night together and she UTTERLY GOES OFF ON HIM and summarily boots him from her life.
Flash forward. Wendy is *married* to Tove. Tove goes magic-insane and has to be locked in a room. And in the next room Wendy now offers THE SAME ONE NIGHTER to Loki and she's suddenly okay with that? ...say what??
Loki - who comes utterly out of nowhere, claiming to be in love with her and who's only strong character trait is "come on baby, you know you want me."
A reviewer on Amazon put it best. It's like Bella ditched Edward, skipped over Jacob, and married Mike Newton.

I can't tell you how refreshing it is to find at least one other person who feels the same way.
Finn took a chance...and he got slammed to the ground for it.

I turned off my Kindle (in effort to keep me from throwing it across the room), ranted about it in my blog, then deleted all three books off my amazon account entirely. I could NOT believe the hypocrisy of it.
I'm all for going a non-traditional route, for not doing what's expected, but for eff's sake at least make it believable.

We could start a support group.... :D


He just causes her heartbreak for the first two and the beginning of the third book. Loki comes in and she's finally found someone who isn't afraid to show his true feelings for her. So in the end, Finn only caused her to find her real true love. So, he wasn't completely pointless. :)

Sorry, but I still can't abide hypocrites and that's just what Wendy became when she offered Loki the same offer she threw in Finn's face.



The whole "thing" with Finn not fighting for her was trumped up. She had to stretch to make a story
out of that. He was desperately in love with her. His love for her was deep and true. She (the author)built us up with this relationship and then let us down.

Yup.

Yeah. If you haven't read it, don't. I was severely disappointed. You will be heartbroken.

No, you were not the only one. It was truly and utterly disappointing.

No, you were not the only one. It was truly and utterly disappointing.

Yup.

Yup.

Girl, you said it best. That was some foolishness. I was totally disappointed. It made no sense. I didn't finish the book either.I went a little further, and I checked to see if there was ANY resolution with Finn (there was, but it was pretty minimal). But pawning Mia off on him pissed me off. And I saw it coming from the moment Wendy "noticed" her. That's when I had my first inkling that things might not actually work out with Finn in the end. Truly disgusted.

You put it SO well. Thank you!


We didn't have any indication that Finn was so much happier with Mia other than the author stating it in order to make the relationship with Loki more palatable. It was as predictable as pie. Once Wendy came across Mia and Hannah sitting there shell-shocked after the attack, it was clear that the author was going to make her Finn's new love interest. I was surprised at how little time she gave to it in the epilogue. It was a brief mention, so that people could feel happy for Finn, which is just plain silly. As a reader, I wasn't wanting to feel "happy" for anyone so much as wanting to see the people who she created the story around end up together after working out their difficulties.
Personally, it's not so much a matter of me loving Finn. I just don't like Wendy with Loki. Too much time was spent developing the relationship between Finn and Wendy. Loki was nice enough, and he did have feelings for her, but the development of the love triangle and its conclusion was just sloppy.

Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. Loki. I love Loki!

LOKI ALL THE WAY. He's so passionate and determined. O freaking love him. Finn was such a jerk to Wendy. If he really did love he, just because she was royal and he wasn't doesn't mean he shouldn't have atleast tried to be with her.

agreed:)


omg, i really want to read that extra short story in the book!
