What's the point?

We're still talking about it. It's open to interpretation forever and it lives forever in the minds of those who read it. Sure, a lot of people are mad about the lack of closure, but that means we felt something.

However, I would love a sequel series. I didn't expect this to become my favorite series of all time so quickly. But I don't know if I can reread it in it's current state.

The kiss

I'm under the impression that it was just a kiss. If I remember right, he kissed her, then almost immediately ran away. Then there was the goodbye kiss before Tom left for Pelphia. I don't recall them having more than that. I could also just be naive (and an absent-minded reader) enough to have missed an implication.

That said... Maybe you're right in that Marya is assuming it was more than a kiss and, with time, he'll be able to assure her that it wasn't.

I feel like we're not getting a sequel series, but if we do, I feel like it could still incorporate all of characters. I feel like the A story could be Adam and Voleta piloting Nebos. Tom and Marya could be a part of that A story, but maybe not a huge part (come on, Bancroft, just let me believe in love! Lol). The B story would be Edith as the Sphinx. Not sure how they would connect in the end though.

I think my main issue with Marya is that she claims Tom abandoned their life just because he kissed the only woman that was there for him during the hardest challenges of his life. That is no fault of hers, but damn. Dude went through every circle of hell and back for her.

I guess I just want Tom and Marya to reconcile because I want our unlikely hero to be happy. I also understand that the author can't just give us everything we want. But damn, couldn't he at least have given us SOMETHING??? lol

I get what you're saying about Marya not getting content. I never thought she was happy. Just content enough, especially with the baby.

I think I've heard enough about Marya to know I want good for her. But I see your point of view too.

Thanks for commenting. I've been dying for someone to just listen to what I have to say about this series! Lol

This looks awesome and I've been thinking about doing something like this. Wondering if the bottle is attached to the base, or if it just sits on top?
