Okay, I just wanted to respond to some of the reviews I have received. Yes, the story did end abruptly. Honestly, I just ran out of ideas. I felt that I had a great beginning and knew my end, but couldn't find any middle ground. If anyone would like to toy around with it, feel free.
And Karigan's calm and peace at the end does seem out of character, but I reasoned that she has spent all her time running. Running message errands, running from her emotions, and running from acknowledging her feelings for the king. I felt that if she finally, just once, was honest with him then maybe she would stop being such a spaz. I think she just needs some kind of catalyst to make her see reason instead of running away again.
And finally, I was overwhelmed by how many fanfics have poor Karigan watch Zachary get married to Estora. Just once I wanted the tables turned and him to watch her marry another.
Now, I was lucky enough to buy a copy of Blackveil at a local bookstore last weekend (days before it was due out). I love it and hate it in so many ways that I started a discussion thread on the Amazon site under Blackveil. Check it out; it's called "Plot Shock." There have already been nearly 70 responses and it's only been active for three days. Lots of people have really fantastic ideas about where the books are going. I hope there is a new spark to the Green Rider fanfics to help tide us all over till Book 5.
Well, take care all and thanks for reading.
