I really enjoyed the multiple POVs in this book, especially Evangeline’s.  That poor girl is probably my favorite character.  After everything she went through, I’m glad she found her happy ending.

I don’t understand the people who loved Mayan so much, but to each their own.  It was set up nicely for a redemption arc, but it never came to fruition.  He never loved Mare, it was pure obsession.  At some point, his character flaws had to fall on him and couldn’t continue to be blamed on his mother.  I have sympathy for him, but he needed to go.

As for everyone upset about the ending with Mare and Cal, I get it but it needed to happen.  Where they left things was realistic.  They both had to become people they didn’t recognize and that is hard to live with.  I think that time apart to figure out how they will keep on living was the mature thing to do.  They’ll eventually come back together, even if the readers won’t get to see it.

After all the hell Mare went through, I believe she earned the right to some peace in the end.
