I wasn't sure what to rate this, but the author did something really ballsy, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 3. I'm sure it won't last, but it was definitely a bold move. (view spoiler)[I am, of course, referring to Ethan's death. I think there are definitely hints that this won't be permanent though (Merit's dreams) and I'm looking forward to seeing how things play out (hide spoiler)]
