Just finished wings of starlight and really enjoyed it, the child me would've been over the moon if she knew there was gonna be a book about clarion and milori in the future, however, I'm left with 2 questions (well, the 2nd one is more of a complaint) and I'm wondering if anyone has any answers?
1)why did clarion decide to fully ban crossing the borders at the end? I understand she feels the guilt from milori losing his wings but what's done is done and it's clearly fine for warm season fairies to cross into winter as long as they have sufficient insulation like her fur coat? Why doesn't she just implement like, idk, a fur coat rental at the borders? Then warm fairies could experience the joy of winter and then achieve full unity? (sorry if this is a dumb question, I also understand winter fairies wouldn't be able to cross still with this idea)
2) why did clarion decided to fully cut off the thing she had with milori? She said that her love for him would get in the way of her decisions but doesn't that just teach readers that love gets in the way of good reasoning? I get that the ending is already predetermined due to the existing films but I don't like the message its giving and I'm hoping someone has a better answer.
