GOD this was so good. It was more difficult to read for personal reasons, so I had a harder time picking it up while I was in the middle, but it was like obviously heart-wrenching for the more obvious reasons. But so many layers of it were so good--the culminations of all these stories together, the way ends were tied up and new stories fit in with the other stories... I don't want to spoil it, but holy shit what an ending to this story, and what a way to go out on it. Incredible, incredible, incredible.
