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,

Honestly, I never really was too consumed with the #Pemma or #Peezie ships. XD I was too busy obsessing over Heather and Smalls' relationship (I started shipping them the moment Smalls first carried Heather all through Seven Mounds ). So I wasn't too bothered when Picket ended up marrying Weezie, although I do think Emma would've healed Picket better. But really, in the end, I was disappointed that Emma and Jo didn't end up together. Out of all of Emma's possible ships, I shipped #Jemma the most.
