If Paul had just communicated with the people he was trying to protect, none of the conflict would have happened in the first place! But hey, he made a mistake! That’s what happens in books! Surely he’ll learn from this experience and grow as a charact-NOPE! Even when he literally thinks that his mentor/father figure is DEAD because of his lack of communication, he still refuses to tell Marguerite the information registering her part in this whole conflict. The only reason he tells her ANYTHING is because she threatens her own safety if he doesn’t come clean. AND HE DOESN’T EVEN COME CLEAN EVEN WHEN HE’S SENDING HER TO ANOTHER DIMENSION TO FIND HER FATHER AND HE DOESN’T EVEN TELL HER HE’S THERE PAUL WHAT THE HELL-Anyways…
I liked the ending, mostly because it

punished Theo, whom I’d found especially annoying throughout the book,HOWEVER
This book did make me reflect on the important relationships in my life. The way the book handles grief, and how Marguerite learns to appreciate the small moments with those you love, was really beautiful. If you dig through the patronizing love triangle, you find a heartwarming lesson that everyone should learn. I just wish I didn’t have to do so much digging.
In conclusion, if you wish Twilight focused more on familial relations and quantum theory, this is the book for you. That is all.
