RACHEL, WHEN I CATCH YOU RACHEL.

This was so beautifully written and I was so invested in Six's development and journey of discovering the world and herself. My heart broke when the fate of the Diviners and our favorite gargoyle's story was revealed. But my heart SHATTERED at the end. After everything, Benji abandons his loyal friends who helped him accomplish his goal and by doing so, forces Six to continue the lie and abandon the new self she's just discovered and those same friends.

I need this to have a sequel. Is Benji successful? Do Rory and Maude come back for Six? Does Six turn into a gargoyle since now she will be starved of the springs water after they buried it? I need ANSWERS.
