Author here! Just seeing your review :) I wanted to say that there is a sequel in the works (I'm a slowwww writer) but that came about only after the release of the book! I wanted an ambiguous and bittersweet ending where Amethyst is able to make amends for her choices by sacrificing herself to save Ben. It seemed a little *too* dark to just have her fade to black at the end so I gave her a reprieve with the last line "Elsewhere, I am alone." Thanks for reading and for the thoughtful review!!

Thanks for the clarification. I am looking forward to the sequel!
