Treason's Shore and White Collar Thoughts

iariaI watched White Collar 3x05 and 3x06 and enjoyed them both.
In 3x05 I loved all the lovely Elizabeth/Peter and Elizabeth/Peter/Neal scenes, liked Neal/Sara and loved Neal bringing Diana dinner in the van. I want more of their growing friendship.
In 3x06 I enjoyed the Sara/Neal scenes and liked that Sara got involved with Neal's con as well as that short Peter/Elizabeth/Neal scene. My biggest issue was with Scott turning himself in at the end which just didn't fit. It didn't make sense to me that he would do that.

I finished Treason’s Shore, the final book in the Inda series, and really enjoyed it. That was an excellent series.
- The ending was both happy and sad for me. Happy because everyone pretty much survived, got relatively happy endings and it just ended well for the world. Sad because everyone went off in their own directions and I loved all the relationships and I wanted them to be a part of each other’s lives. It’s weird because a lot of the characters spent years apart during the series but when I finished the book I realised that I was imagining this future where they were integral parts of each others lives and they saw each other all the time and when that didn’t happen it made me sad. I particularly wanted Inda and Tdor to fall in love with the Capital and their their lives there with Evred and Hadand.
- I still ship Evred/Inda and even though I knew during the previous book that they weren't going to get together I was still sad how things ended. I loved Inda becoming Evred's Harskialdna and the idea of him being Evred's Sierandael for the rest of their lives was an ending that I found very satisfactory. Instead Inda returned to Choraed Elgaer for the rest of his life - writing and visiting the capital rarely and thus rarely seeing Evred. D:
- Strangely my biggest question when I finished the book, and the thing that bothered me most, was wondering if Jeje and Inda ever met again. They had to have, right? She and Tau must have visited at some point.
- I had been very worried after the last book about Dun’s ghost leaving and how that could affect Inda’s fighting ability. That ended up being worry about nothing because Inda was apparently mostly unaffected by it.
Other Things I Liked:
- That Hadand told Evred that she knew about his deep love for Inda and that she was in love with him - so that they could lean on each other.
- That Fox and Inda had a close friendship for the rest of their lives.
- That Jeje became the Harbourmaster of Freedom Harbour.
- Inda as head of the Academy. I wish we could have seen more of that.
- Elfis and Sparrow marrying and adopting two of the Marlovan orphans.
- That it's Evred's promise to Jeje (to call for her if he ever feels like throwing a kingdom at Inda) that causes him to reign in his anger during their confrontation at the end.
- Captain Han and her being made a King's Runner.
Other Things That Made Me Sad:
- That Inda gave Evred the rings back and threw away the locket.
- That Signi never returned with her daughter.
- That Inda and Durasnir never had the chance to talk. They would have gotten along so well.
