Talk:Endless Summer, Book 3 Choices/@comment-34079869-20180414082657

Somehow I was mildly disappointed in the last chapter. After all of the twists and turns, I thought MC deserved a shot at unconditional victory if they played their cards right. I was also disappointed that the Embers of Hope really meant nothing (other than maybe if you took Option C). But this was an amazing, amazing series and really stands apart from the rest of PB's work. As I said before, I'm as excited to see what this team writes next as I'm sad to see this story end.

I think that Option B (staying on the island) is meant to be the "right option." The way that the writers talked about the narrative in Book 3, Shvartz's choice of a screenshot from that path in his closing tweet, and the focus on friendship and the growing self-sufficiency of the characters in the entire series just make it feel right.

Right before the MC makes their choice, they say the line that they said to the Clockmaker earlier in the Book when she asked MC what they thought time was. I wondered if anything is different depending on that earlier choice. Probably not, though, judging from the walkthrough.

By the way, I never reached 3 hearts with Estela despite getting every + and avoiding every - from her, including in diamond options. Did anyone else reach 3 with her?
