Another book I wept while reading.  Towards the end, there were times I got chills as the long term plotting and manipulations came to fruition.

Wow what a monster of a book. Not one for the faint of heart, but it's definitely worth reading. There are some parts where it drags just a bit, but not enought to affect it being a solid 5/5. The characters were so well written that I came to empathize with both the main character and the villains at points. I do not regret all the time I spent reading this, it's definitely a great read!
