Reread 2025: At one point I was nervous that this reread would taint my memories of loving this book as things were veering on becoming just slightly too convoluted. But the ending got me (even though I wasn't quite as emotional this time around) again, and I can indeed confirm that this is one of my favorite books and will be for a long time.
