EDIT 10/7/12: If you want to feel loads better about this, read Nightshade 3.5: The Aftermath. I think it's only available as an e-book though. BUT TRUST ME. IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT THE ENDING. AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, GIVE YOU HOPE.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

WTF. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ENDING????????? Argh. I LOVE everything about this book. Except for the ultimate ending. I felt as if Cremer took the easy way out. WTF.

((full rant soon after I can actually think about this ))


:::::::::::::::::MAJOR SPOILERS :::::: ALSO, MAJOR RANT COMING NOW ::::::::: MAJOR SPOILERS ::::::::::


*Tries to lower down heart rate* *tries to breathe normally*. Okay. Not working. Uh, umm guys, I literally just finished Bloodrose. and I really don't know what to think. Hence why I won't give this a rating. I couldn't decide whether its a one star or a five star rating.

This isn't even a review. It's a rant, ok so bear with me.

I love this book. I really do. I love all the secondary characters (searchers and guardians) and you can't help but want them to survive. Oh god, even I felt so sad when Silas (the scriber, remember him?) died. I also was rooting for all the couples to survive - Connor and Adne, Sabine and Ethan, Bryn and Ansel, Mason and Nev. I love them all. Except for Shay. THAT BASTARD. Never in my life have I ever despised a love interest as much as him, but to be fair he was a lot better (uh, yeah who could have guessed) than he was in Wolfsbane. Don't get me wrong, I would still dig up his grave for him if I have the chance.

NOW. Here's where my madness comes. Ren dies. REN DIES. Like,really. I had a suspicion about it a few months ago, but I didn't want to believe that an author like Andrea Cremer would choose the easy way out. Kill Ren (my precious Ren!!!)then BINGO. Calla and Shay can be together forever. Argh. Makes me even sick and ill than I am (there's a reason why I missed school, you know). I feel like his death was pointless and his dad (not his read dad, but Emile the one he believed was his dad) broke his neck. WTF. I would be less angry if it was someone else that killed him but not just his bastard of a (fake) father. And I felt so sorry for Adne - they were getting along so perfectly and now she's lost her brother and her whole family now.
I love Ren even more in this because he showed a different side to him and I was so ANGRY when they didn't have sex. While Calla basically throws herself at Shay.

About Calla, she keeps saying to herself that "Oh, I would wait until the war ends, then I make the choice." Umm, yeah while you're basically letting Shay rip your clothes off. That girl makes me sick. She's not a good heroine, and it's ironic because Andrea said that Calla is the inspiration for this series, and she wanted a heroine/alpha that knows what she wants. Bite my ass. Calla DID NOT know what she wanted, she keep going back and forth. She's kissing the other behind the other guy's back and she gets OH SO MAD when they try to rip each others throat out. Like hello, you can't expect them to not fight over you, you ignorant bitch.

Back to my true hero Ren, I wouuld have been happy if he did NOT end up with Calla, but at least with someone else. I don't get why Andrea just killed him off like that. It would have left a less bitter taste in my mouth. I feel embarassed for Ren. He lost his Alpha role, he lost Calla to Shay, he lost his parents, he lost his freaking life. Oh my days. What is wrong with the world??

Anyway, have you guys seen the post Andrea posted on her blog? About wants vs needs or something like that? I seriously LMFAO when she said that honestly there's as much as Shay fans as Ren's. Oh. Did I miss something? Is she blind? I can't even name one person that actually likes Shay *glances around* Exactly.

Apart from THAT thing, I actually liked the epilogue, it was cute and heart-warming. But what pissed me off(!) again was that Shay's a wolf. He should just be left a human and so that slag would be left on her own. *Heavy sigh* Guess we can't all be happy. To be honest, I was expecting Calla to die 'cause the author says the ending is totally unexpected. It is in a way, but not really because we pretty much figured out that Calla will end up with Shay right from the very beginning of the 1st book, Nightshade.

Anyway, I wanna know what you guys think of the ending and whether you agree with me or not. :)
