"Ascend" by Amanda Hocking

I am really enjoying this book. Finally all the tension from the Finn, Wendy and Loki love triangle has reached its climax. Finn and Wendy kissed and it nearly led to more but Wendy stopped it as she now knew that Loki was the one for her. She knew that she could never be with Finn as he would never be good enough for a Queen in the eyes of the public as he was only a tracker. And that usually wouldn't matter but Finn never thought that he deserved her and was constantly putting himself down and running away. Finn had many insecurities and he covered them up by being dark and distant and of course constantly running away from his problems. Wendy knew that even though Loki was Vittra he was still higher than Finn in society so he might be more accepted by the Trylle. She also knew that Loki didn't have insecurities and that he was confident and sometimes a bit cocky but thats what she loved about him. He was playful and was always up for a challenge and at this point in her life thats what she needed, someone who would always be there for her no matter what and would always put a smile on her face even when she wanted to cry. I believe that this is a very good choice. Wendy cannot constantly chase after Finn and be constantly worrying wether or not he is going to leave her again when she least expects it. She has to control a whole Kingdom and in order to keep the Kingdom stable her own personal life needs to be stable and happy. She has finally taken control of her personal life which used to be a jumbled up mess and now she is going to tell Loki that he is the one for her. Now that her love life is sorted she can move on to ruling her Kingdom in the best possible way that she can. She can also spend more time with her mother, Elora, who seems to be getting weaker and weaker by the second. Elora is now permanently in a dark room, lying down in bed. Her hair is nearly all grey and her face is nowhere near as smooth as it used to be.

I am very excited to find out more and how Loki is going to react to Wendy telling him that she loves him.
