Not the ending I expected. Not the ending I wanted.
So, this book actually took me awhile to read. I think it was five days. Being someone who usually reads a book a day, this is nearly unprecedented. 
Not that it was boring or slow or hard to read. I think it was mostly because I was distracted. But whatever.
More fairy hijinks in this book. 
Okay, so the thing about this book: the title, her hair, everything basically, was pointing to Bertie ending up with Ariel. This was a cause of great happiness for me, as I love Ariel.
And, at the ending, I suppose she did choose Ariel, in a way. it was very profound. It was very deep. But by no means a happily ever after.
And then, there was a tad more after she chose-Ariel-in-a-way. Kind of, this story is over but it’s not the end kind of ending.
It was a good ending. It wrapped everything up, broke my heart a little, and left it open-ended in a way that indicates the story is over, but it’s not the end of the character’s lives (not all of them, anyway).
And that is my definition of a good ending.
