It's one more thing Fire has to deal with; one more burden she has to bear. I love how the ending fit with her decision, too.

I happen to love the positions she's taken with Fire and Katsa and families, not only because of their uniqueness, but also because of how a similar position can come from two very different places. Katsa draws strength from her independence, and it's really the responsible choice for her at the moment since she plans on continuing to throw herself into danger. Meanwhile for Fire, the lack of children in her future is a tragedy, because she wants nothing more than the family she didn't have growing up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13223450892316241062noreply@blogger.com
