One thing that could have made the ending and its consequences better and more suspenseful for the reader would be by including fewer key pointers to the outcome of the ending

“The Songcatcher” by Sharyn McCrumb is not just a historical book but also a modern. It mixes modern times with the late 1700’s - early 1800’s.
