WOW! just wow!
This one made me cry more times than I can count. All the different storylines were so perfectly spread out, and I thought that they came together at just the right time(even if in my heart i wanted the couples to already have their happily ever after). It was a really long book, but it surprisingly went a lot faster than what I anticipated. Its hard to pick a favorite character because the series has so many great ones, but seeing Elide and Lorcan and the growth they went through UGH IM GONNA CRY AGAIN! I never really liked Chaol but SJM did such a great job developing everyone that I did not hate him in this book. I wish I could have seen more of Manon, but I understand she was not a MC. All in all, the series is LONG AS HELL! BUT so so worth it. I remember being skeptical at first when people recommended I read 8! books, but now being on this side, I totally understand.
