I bawled reading this final book. The ending was a twist I just didn't see coming at all and it hit me like a freight train. 

I once again appreciated the vivid description and many allusions, but the most recognizable villain just didn't work for me and some characters reactions to their machinations seemed badly explained and executed. 

But for me the intense interior lives of the characters really makes up for it! Rarely do I enjoy really smutty because I get cant get into the plot but I've had a good month!
