This book (and series) is incredible. What an amazing end to such a wonderful trilogy. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to truly capture in words the things it did to me. 

I was in floods of tears throughout the last 10% of it, and was brought to tears many times before that as well. 

The world is so richly complex, and the character work so deeply realistic. 

I was left feeling both completely satisfied (something I find increasingly rare when finishing series), and with a deep longing to go back and read it all over again knowing what I know now 

A marvel.
