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.

I mean, she do be a genius.

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.
