I'm not even bothering to continue it. I have NEVER seen a story where the young innocent with a lust for life who turns out to be not long for this earth survives the story and comes out on top. It's a cheap ploy at shallow drama. I stopped reading Bridge to Teribithia for similar reasons. If you want to kill a character, develop them enough to make us care that they died but not enough to make it feel like a cheap emotional ploy (Mufasa or Bambi's mom), underdevelop them but show the impact of their death through a character who knew them more than us (like the pianist kid's mom in YLiA or Littlefoot's mom) or have them go out in a blaze of glory or a pyre of redemption (Dinobot and Darth Vader).

Make me care, don't put my heart in a vice grip with shallow "FEELZ!!!!" By drawing out an ending you telegraphed.
