The Wide Web of Friends in YA Books discussion

I love this entire series! What did you think of the final book?

Same. I was kind of mad at Rose for what she did to them, but in the end, it was really just her and Dimitri <3

Ok... I can't believe Rose cheated on Adrian. I am still not over it. She might never have really been in love with him, but he was in love with her. And I know Dimitri and Rose are soul mates but Rose could definitely have handled that better. She could have broken up with Adrian BEFORE sleeping with Dimitri. And if she didn't have the decency to do that, then she could have at least TOLD Adrian that she was in love with Dimitri so he wouldn't find out for himself by CATCHING THEM TOGETHER. Honestly, Rose should have died at the end when she was shot. 1. because she was shot in the chest - people do not 'fight their way back' from being shot in the chest. They die. I know this is a fantasy novel, but still. It doesn't work like that. And 2. it would have been a better ending if Rose died. And it seemed like the end too! "They come first." But of course I turned the page and there was another chapter. So that was confusing. And the last 50 pages were just painful to read. Rose was just happy that she and Dimitri could finally be together and she didn't even care that she screwed EVERYONE ELSE over. Adrian, Lissa, Sydney, Eddie, Jill... I started to hate Rose.

Yeah Rose messed up big time. I think that Adrian knew that nothing was going to come out of dating Rose Hathaway. Everyone knew it was Rose and Dimitri, not Rose and Adrian. She should have done a lot of things differently but no one is perfect. If Rose did everything right, it would have been boring. And screwing over Jill gave you the premise of Bloodlines. And as I recall, you love that series? You can thank Rose and Richelle Mead for that.

Haha yeah I love Bloodlines. But seriously Richelle Mead had to create a separate series to resolve all the problems Rose created for her friends.
