 (view spoiler)[Serious spoilers for the ending below. 
 I'm a bit pissed off at this one, I did not deal with two books full of back and forth angst to have an ending where the "second choice" gets killed off after being basically toyed with and tossed aside for being a genuinely good guy. He should have never been in the books as a love interest in the first place if this was to be the conclusion because it only lead to unnecessary drama and an end to a character that really deserved better.
