That ending pissed me off.
The first hundred pages of this I was bored and confused, but then I started to get into it and the characters and their interactions and ended up enjoying the rest. I really loved our main character and the strength she had and the relationships she developed especially with the king(?). The ending though?? Like I’m glad the author went there(I didn’t realize this was a retelling so it makes sense), but I’m not exactly happy she did.
