I have cried while reading a good number of books, but never 5 times. Never 5 times in 200 pages. 3 times for good things and twice for bad things. The bad things hit me hard. One because the event that happened scared me to think I will have to deal with that one day and the other just out of fear that the book could end sadly not happily. Trying to give a good review without giving away major things is hard. This was a great book. This series is unlike anything I've read in a while.
