I can honestly say I'm kinda glad I never read the first book. This book ended so perfectly. I think I might've been mad if I had to endure the possible love triangle in the first one. I wasn't sure who was more perfect for Katie, in the beginning. But after a bit I figured out who I liked.
Katie has lived a very hard life, filled with much suffering and death. I was struggling with hearing it all myself, and watching her go through much more. I swear, the last 15% of the book, my nerves were shot and I spent the entire time with tears glistening in my eyes. I know times were tough, but I never even imagined one person going through so much.
The love triangle was perfectly written. Katie has had no one to look after her, for so long, she really doesn't know what she's feeling or how to deal with those feelings. I truly felt bad for Joseph and Tavish as they both were vying for her affection, while all this was going on.
Watching the town, on the verge of self destruction, was heart breaking also. These people just didn't want to let go of their prejudices and live peacefully. So property damage, stolen property, and physical injuries were just a part of their problems.
Katie tried everything in her power to get things turned around. She knew if something didn't happen, someone would eventually get killed in the crossfire. Sadly, she was right. That was part of where my tears came from. Devastated.
By the time the ending came around, I was emotionally drained, but that's the way I like my books. :)
