I'm sorry if this gets long or just me ranting, but I want others to hear my thoughts on the end of Ember's End.
(I also didn't know if I should put this in the Ember's End section or the Characters section, but I think it fits better in Characters?)
Here we go...
I'm upset that Picket ended up with Wheezie and not Emma. Wheezie was the only introduced in Ember Rising, unlike Emma who was introduced in The Green Ember. Also one of the most inspirational quote in the Green Ember series is Emma to Pickecandidatet, "You can choose what you believe, Shuffler, but you can’t change what’s true." Wheezie's late introduction and small amount of character development didn't make her the best candidate for Picket's wife.
Picket ending up with Emma would have made more sense since they were so close during the first and second books. They also have a better couple name, #Pemma. I think that #Jemma is okay too, but not as good as #Pemma. Okay, I think I'm done with ranting for now. If anyone wants to debate why #Peezie is better than #Pemma leave a comment. Until then...
God bless and Bear the Flame,

Ahh, the wars begin once more. #nothingendspeacefully. Weezie and Picket were DESTINED for each other. Emma is meant for Jo. #HurryupEmma. Weezie brought joy to Picks life in one of his darkest time. And as she was related to Helmer, that would officially make them family. Except he died. And that would make it even more respectable. Plus life and death situations bring characters together. I know what your going to say. Emma and Pick almost died at “The war at Cloud Mountain”, but Emma and Pick weren’t the only ones together. Also, Picket doesn’t think the highest of himself and is not the Fame King. At least, he doesn’t try to be. Therefore marrying one of the royals would draw attention and Picket doesn’t like to much attention. He just gives his all for the crown. Plus, in the First Fowler, Emma flirted with Jo a bit. Although you make a point of Emma being an original character, Weezie and Pick probably spent more time with him. Between the secret citadel, and Picket staying at the farm... Have your own opinion as @Ian G. said, but Ian and the rest of the #Pezzie team will have ours.
