Thoughts about...

Clive and Joshua, their bond and the end

(for those who hadn't played the game - spoilers below )

When we meet Clive, we know that he loves his little brother deeply, it is evident in his actions and how he is when around him. But then, Clive sees his little brother dies.

For many years, he has believed his brother to be dead. The brother he has loved, and swear to protect. For him, it's not just a failure, it is also the loss of another piece of himself (we discover since how long, and how much in those last scenes). And then? He discovers he is the one that killed his little brother.

Cid got his back and kicked him in gear. He keeps going and find a purpose but still: his beloved brother is no more. There is this hole in his mind, this scar in his heart. Until fate gives him back his little brother, and more, Joshua still loves him.

And now, to the end of the game, when all is said and done, when Joshua is dead in Clive's arms, once he has beaten Ultima. I wonder. Having loved his little brother so much, so deeply, having believed for so long he had lost him, having even believed he had been the one killing him, how could Clive has left Joshua "stay" dead?

Yes. I am of those who interpret the end as : Clive died, bringing back Joshua and sacrificing himself to save the world.

I think, and it is my opinion of course, that Clive, having felt this loss once couldn't endure it another time. Clive, having this second chance and seeing now the brother he loved so dearly bloodied in his arms just couldn't handle it. I don't think he knew it would cost him his life, but I'm not sure he wouldn't have done it anyway, because of this past, of this scar that would have brutally re-opened at this moment. I think, given this chance, Clive jumped on it.

But then, there is this, Joshua had loved his brother as much, wishing to protect him. I cannot stop thinking how he must have felt, waking up, knowing his brother had given him back his life (or discovering). I don't think Joshua came out unscathed from this (and another long dissertation about Joshua state of mind and why I write him this way... one day).

Book Review: Everlasting Bond by Christine M. Besze

Everlasting Bond by Christine M. Besze Genre: Young Adult (Paranormal/Fantasy Romance) Date Published: June 1, 2010 Publisher: Self

KATRINA DAVENPORT’S Junior year at Morgan Springs High starts off like any other—boring and routine. Little does she know, fate has other plans. COLE ALDRICH—a mysteriously attractive new addition has arrived and will change everything. Katrina's world is turned upside down, as secrets are revealed and the past comes back to find her. Will she succumb to her destiny or live to fight it?

Everlasting Bond is the debut novel by Christine M. Besze. This book kept my attention for the most part, but it was a struggle to stay focused at times. The second half is definitely better than the first half. As a reader, you will figure many things out long before the main character. I wish Katrina would have embraced some of the opportunities presented to her rather than dragging her feet. After everything that happened within this story, I don't know why she's so hesitant. It doesn't  make sense to me. Also, she's a damsel in distress quite a bit & comes off as weak. I'm ready to see her fight! In her defense, she is left unprotected for a good portion of the story. The bad guys are out to get her, she's left all but abandoned, and we aren't given a good answer as to why. So, needless to say, I have a lot of questions. Why is Cole keeping so many secrets? Why doesn't anybody tell her what's going on? Why does she become attracted to someone else so quickly? Why? Why? Why? Aside from all my questions, I did enjoy reading this story. This is only book one in the series, so I'm hoping we'll get answers in upcoming books. I am super curious to know what happens next. I really, really hope Katrina grows some lady balls!
