I believe books are a world in itself. The writer has the power to change the whole character's life, way of the thinking, anything! But killing off my favorite character to make the story more "realistic" is not cool! stories ARE NOT real!! They are an escape from reality, I don't want reality in it! Besides, reality is not just tragedy, saying it's tragic because it's real life, just makes people think that life is more awful than it is, DO NOT DO THAT! sorry, just really annoyed at a book's ending
