One sentiment I really can echo is PLEASE, please, PLEASE do not kill off any of our favorites. Pol was already hard enough. (Part of my fear about reading the last book is having any of my beloved characters die....!!) Anyone else??
Oh, I'm totally with you! I hate the "random death" (Crooked Kingdom) and the "self-sacrifice death" (every Star Wars movie) and...well, I guess I just don't like it when characters I love die. I do get a sense of something weird in store for Gen, though, maybe becoming immortal like a god??? Who knows what tricksy Megan might have up her sleeve.
Did you LOVE Six of Crows? It's become one of my favorites; I've read it several times now. Crooked Kingdom is wonderful, too. I'm sorry for slipping in a mild spoiler. :-(
I really kind of hated Mockingjay because of all the kids dying. Ugh.
Oh, no worries. ;) The book came out ages ago. I really should've read it sooner.
I loved Six of Crows! The only thing is that I found the terminology confusing at times. I think I need to read the Grisha trilogy to get a better idea of the world building.
Yeah, I have few complaints about the Hunger Games, but the deaths in Mockingjay felt very random. I mean... nothing against the removal of Plot Armor, but if you're going to kill off beloved characters, Rwby is how you do it. Characters just seemed to die for no other reason than shock value in Mockingjay.
