Very few books make me actively shed tears, but this one did. Another reread for the year and I'm still just absolutely in love with the Seven Satrapies and drafting. The growth shown by all the characters is incredible, and the raw emotions that they feel don't pull any punches. A stellar entry by Brent Weeks.
