It was a fucking rollercoaster of emotions. 

It's funny how this series has a killcount beyond measure, but they are able to make every death meaningful. It hurts, even if you'd never met the characters before. 

Its astounding, that there are so many villains in this series, and I can't hate any of them. Their deaths hurt, too. 

I can't remember reading a book, let alone a series with this quality through all parts, that makes me laugh and cry and thrashing and crying again, and that was able to catch me for all those endless pages. 

I'm exhausted. I found my new holy grail. And I'm grateful for my book bestie, who recommended it to me. I'll read anything you say from now on without question.

This book actually wrecked me for really no good reason? I loved the conclusion and thought everything was well done and tied together. The commentary on war was really good. I loved all the characters and their relationships and interactions.

Overall a fine conclusion to the story. As the story goes on it feels less believable and was easier to guess what would happen. I was still invested in the main characters but I was ready for it to just be wrapped up. I would have loved a little more of a peek into life afterwards for everyone.
