OK, so the ending hugely influenced how I feel about this book. I enjoyed that Merit didn't just roll over and accept Ethan, but I also think she might have been a little more hesitant than necessary. I liked how things played out with the mayor and I'm hoping that Lindsay stops being a big scaredy cat and goes for it with Luc. I will read the next one because I have to see where it goes from here, but I am not optomistic. 
 (view spoiler)[ I'm definitely not happy that Neill killed Ethan off in the last couple pages of the book. The dream at the very end where Merit hears him calling out to her implies he's not totally gone, but I'm not sure how much patience I'm going to have with that. I suppose it could relate to the familiar green eyes that aren't quite Ethan's in the prophesy. I also sort of feel like she set up Jonah to be Merit's next love interest, and while I like him as a character, he's no Ethan. With Celina and Ethan dead the story seems like it's going to shift drastically and I just don't know that it's warranted. (hide spoiler)]
