What, he kills his love/crush/affinity? That is very Greek tragedy. (Oh, well, I hear he's a little bit Greek?)

I don't mind spoilers. I often look in the end of the book before I even start reading. It's the journey from point A to point B that counts for me. :)

But A and C live happily ever after, right? At least, moderately happily? As much as it's possible given the weather conditions?
