Yet another new character, and a very fun one. He doesn't speak, everyone thinks he's incapable of understanding much, and so he gets away with a lot. Meanwhile, everybody's story lines are wrapped up, most of our old faves (at least that have survived to this book) get a good scene or two, and Eugenides continues to... be him. A pretty satisfying wrap up to a 6 book, geographically vast saga. Even for somebody like me who gets really bored when we have to read about troop movements and battles instead of relationships and hijinks.

My heart hurts and it's a bittersweet ending to the series. Please excuse me while I contemplate on EVERYTHING that happened in this twisted and witty book. 10/10 recommend. Still remains my all time favorite series.

Absolutely could not have asked for a better ending. Each time I picked up the book, I read a passage that would bring me joy or make my heart ache. Hats off to Megan Whalen Turner, may she be blessed in her endeavors.
