Just your thoughts on the ships is what I would like to hear:
Garten x Sween, was that a thing back in the days before her and Whittle? Or did Garten fall for her but she chose the other brother, which caused Garten to maybe want to prove himself or get attention from Sween in any possible way, even if it mean't betraying his whole kingdom?
Jo x Emma Though it'd be awesome if this happened it probably won't. They really didn't have much conflict, except some of the Last Archer but tbh this one of the best ones, and if Jo is as injured in bk 3 as Dr. Zeiger says he is than maybe Sam will give us the drama we love. also in bk 1 i thought Smalls x Heather was just something of my imagination, but then it wasn't, maybe Sam is just teasing us with it. so it is possible.
Weezie x Picket I am 99.9% this is going to happen. I have nothing else to say about it other than it's some cute young love ;).
Kyle x Heather Yeeeeeaaa I don't really like it, some people ship it but I think Heather's to good for that traitor. It was cute before I lived and breathed smalls (Oh My child may he rest in peace? idk is he dead???)
Smalls x Heather Finished. Done. This ship needs no context it's so good.
Heyna x Smalls THEY ARE FLIPPING RELATED WHY YOU SHIPPY???
Jo x Heather I think Jo had a crush on her in the 1st and 2nd bk but it ebbed away as they got older and he realized she loved Smalls and he had no chance(Also Jemma for Life)
Picket x Emma I saw this as cute but as time went on I don't think they liked eachother that way, Picket was to loyal and saw her as more of a friend/sister/high rank commander and Emma saw him as a little brother. Honestly they were close yes, but not in the way you think.
Helmer x His tree because, it's important enough to be on a map, and it's referred to in every book :3
What are your thoughts?
Picket+Emma! I've always shipped them, and now I think that S. D. has set up a really interesting situation for the next book. I'm usually not a fan of love triangles, but...
"They walked on in silence until they reached the stairs. Picket found that he had been put in a room on the bottom floor, and now Emma was beginning up the stairway, surrounded by her wartime court. Then she stopped, turning back to where Picket stood with Weezie.
“Picket,” Emma said, “will you come with me to the balcony? I’m going to address the city.”
He looked up at Emma, glanced over at Weezie, then back to Emma. “Is it all right, Your Highness, if I watch from the square?”
Emma’s eyes seemed to shine a moment, and she blinked, then smiled. “Of course, Picket.”
“I know you will do an amazing job, Your Highness,” he said, and he bowed low, using the crutch to support himself. When he looked up, she was hurrying up the stairs."

Emma, I think, has an obvious attraction to Picket. Picket is attracted to Weezie (I hate the name Weezie. Makes her sound like a old man with pneumonia) but also kinda to Emma.
EMMA IS OBVIOUSLY THE BETTER CHOICE.
Sure, Weezie's sweet, but that's all. She has little to no depth. She has barely proved herself. She seems underdeveloped, and (to be honest) just the type of character that would betray them. Remember Kyle and Bleston. Remember.
These, of course, are just my personal thoughts. I hate Weezie, but I'm fine with whoever ships whoever. We'll all find out when Ember's End comes out, won't we?
