I was reading this a while back, and I really just loooved Heil. More than that, I loved him with River, and more than THAT I did not like Kahol. But he's the one on the cover art with River, so I had no hope for Heil being the love interest. I left because I've been through this with Unripened Expression, and honestly I couldn't take the abusive, one-sided relationship between River and Kahol. I ended up back here on a whim, and if the comments are to be believed, it happens??? River ends up with Heil??? Don't lie to me, comments!! Was the cover art a lie? Should I continue reading where I left off?
