I know that many people belive that Janner comes back to life after TWatWK and have good reasons to.
But I disagree.
I belive that the sacrifice for un-transforming the Fangs and the Cloven is somebodys death and therefore Janner dies and stays dead.
And many say that the story whould be to sad if Janner stays dead but I also disagree with that, too.
Janner is now safe, with the Maker and his father, Esben.
So, really, the ending isn't all that sad at all.
I'm quite satisfied with it.
But let’s think about the other characters!
Let the rant begin!
Kalmar would probably feel really guilty for Janner’s death, like he did at the end. I don’t think that pain would ever go away
Nia oh man she’s had a hard life, so her mother died, at the same time her husband died, then came back in book 3, then her boyfriend (Rudrik) died, THEN her father died THENNN first born died! Girl! That’s a lot!
My girly Sara😭 awww she loved Janner so much she LITERALLY crossed an ocean to find him and when she got there he was gone😭😭😭 that’s some deep scars!
Plus if you look at the analogy between Wingfeather and the Bible. And Jesus’s sacrifice for us then logically Janner would come back
My evidence: if you have read Wingfeather takes then in the first story (Prince of Yorsa doon) Oskar briefly mentions that Anniera has been restored to its former glory implying that the Wingfeather’s came back from the epilogue adventure and rebuilt the palace.
Then in the last story (places beyond the maps) Sara’s father sees her in castle Rysen, as a PRINCESS in the throne room.
So it. Unfortunately does not say Sara Wingfeather BUTTTT!😄
It does say that Sara’s father returned home and his wife called to their daughter to bring their grandkids to meet their grandpa! Thus Sara has kids.
Now this could mean that either Janner came back or she married some random person and Nia adopted her thus she’s a princess by adoption or marriage.
Alsooooooo! We can assume that they reach the first well sense in book 4 at least in the rebrand hard covers they have an illustration of what is described to be the first well
Ok sorry for the long rant!😅 I’ve obviously thought about this a lot!
