I. . . can't stop thinking about this book. The weight it has left in my chest. The familiarity of some of a particular theme the main character struggles with throughout and what it causes just — the sorrow it makes me feel. I can't even accurately put it into words. Sad doesn't feel strong enough. I'm devastated. But I still loved this book so much. It was beautiful and magical and wonderful and the narration was flawless. I have yet to be disappointed by the books in this series and the wonder I always feel listening to the flow of the words - so beautifully written and read.

With every further novel in the series, it makes me even more excited to go back and reread from the beginning. I’ve never been so excited to eventually reread a whole series. Wow, these are SO GOOD I just don’t have the words. This one…. Ugh, this one. It’s heartbreaking.
