** spoiler alert ** 
 So. I finished Endless Knight... 
 What do I have to say?? 
 ... 
 That ending!! Oh, that cliffhanger just killed me! 
 And again, back to my theory, Jackson might actually turn out to be... something more. 
 Hello, doesn't that seem a little bit like foreshadowing, maybe even dropping hints about Jackson? So there's an Arcana that remains dormant until "activation". Meaning that that Arcana's powers could still be there, lying in sleep, just waiting to be used, or possibly "leaking out" in a surreptitious unbeknownst way to the Arcana him/herself.. And the only way for this Arcana to be awakened from its dormant state is to kill another Arcana... 
 Hmm, and then the unthinkable happens: 
 With Jack's history with the army, you know he hates the twins for whatever it is they did to Clotile. My guess is he will not be very happy to see them. Or maybe he will? It would be a great opportunity to exact revenge on them for what they've done. 
 Which I will then go on to say: If Jackson is this dormant card, and he's trapped with the Lovers (Arcana), he will try to kill them.. which in turn could then "awaken" the dormant card. 
 Letting my mind wander, that's what I gathered from reading Poison Princess and Endless Knight. I know how authors just love to drop hints and little clues about what may happen in future book installments and sometimes we're just too slow on the uptake, but I think I might be on to something. (Again, I say I think, for if I turn out to be wrong.) 
 And so, I will go on to discuss the photoset on top of this rant. The shield with the 3 swords was on the last page of Endless Knight. It was an interesting choice. Does it mean something? Could it possibly mean to say something about the Minor Arcana? Possibly The Three of Swords? Could this be the hint that maybe Jackson isn't a Major Arcana (cuz that would mean that Evie would have to kill him to win the game) but that he's one of the Minor Arcana? 
 "Do Minor Arcana exist in real life? Like we do?" 
 "Some games I see evidence of them everywhere; others I see nothing." (p. 262) 
 Jackson: Major or Minor Arcana? Either way, I really hope nothing bad happens to him! 
 Now, on to the rest of the story, I actually liked that new characters were introduced like Death and that one other girl I forgot her name but ends up betraying them, Fin most of all. Death's real name was Aric and he was interesting character with a really messed up background- the past Empress was his enemy but then they got married and on the wedding night she betrayed him and tried to kill him but Death, feeling angry and betrayed killed her instead and now carries a grudge and hatred to the present Evie. But suddenly, because she gets kidnapped by him, they start to.. like each other *shudders* 
 I think some might know that I really hate love triangles, sure some are necessary and I actually grow to like them, but in this book? No, just NO. The way I see it, Death is manipulating Evie into loving/caring for him because Evie feels that she has to be his wife because of her actions in her past life, but the past Empress who hurt him isn't the Evie she is now! I don't get what she's thinking at all. 
 I mean just because she's the only woman he can touch does NOT mean they should end up together, I mean yeah Evie felt betrayed because of Jackson's betrayal (I won't go into it since it's something you have to read for yourself) but Evie and Jackson have something together! Call it attraction or whatever you want, I honestly feel like they're meant for each other, I might be a little biased 'cause I want them to end up together but no, that's it. I want them to end up together, screw Death, he can end up with someone else (I'm pretty sure there's someone else out there that he can end up with.) 
 I believe that if they find a way out of the game, they will all lose their powers (or something like that) and Death will be able to touch another human being without killing them and so find his match, but it wont be Evie. Seriously tho, all the love triangle aside, this one was a good sequel to Poison Princess and I can't wait to read the next book in the series!
