I wanted to rate this lower because of the way my heart was clenching for the first half, but after letting my emotions FINALLY settle I realized that other than having the intended reactions to Sorin and Scarlett I have literally no notes.

I am so disappointed I'm not going to be able to jump into book three this very minute because I am just trying to chase a happy ending damnit!

The characters are just so real that I can't help but actually feel what they are feeling. The longer I read these stops being just names on a page and turn into people with a life of their own, and the true magic I feel reading is absolutely unparalleled. I am so exited to learn more about, well, everything! It seems as if as soon as you think you have a grasp on reality, the rug gets pulled out from under you. It is as maddening as it is delightful.
