They should not have given the knight that many romance flags throughout the entire series if he was going to be done dirty like this. Like, demon boy has his own appeal, but it really could have been kept non-romantic in so many ways, especially since the pact he made with her father could have factored in. I don’t hate him, but was the love triangle necessary? Did we really spend so much time near the start having knight boy help Kiera soften up for nothing? Her brother certainly approves and he’s really the most important one here (especially considering the og ending). Tbh I forgot Zeke approved of him and now I’m even more frustrated. Also, her father not saying anything regarding the latest accusations as though this had nothing to do with him, even afterwards in private was ridiculous. He said he’d do anything for her and her legitimacy was questioned again.
