I have no idea what to do with my life anymore. There is a wide chasm of emptyness in my life where this series used to be. Now that I've completed it, I feel empty.
I loved:
~As usual, the characters. Hilo is a wonderfully written character, definitely my favorite from this series. He is such a contradiction of traits, it's beautiful to read about.
~The character interactions. Loyalty, friendship, brotherhood, family and love are themes I have always and will always enjoy (an understatement).
~The emotions. Now, I am empty, empty is me.
~The "vastness" of the story. The sheer timespan it covered had my head spinning.
I personally didn't like(some of these I have mentioned in my review of the previous book):
~The pacing. It was driving me crazy. This book took me too many days to complete because the pacing slowed down so much sometimes that I got bored(a bit).
~Major(imo) incidents happening offscreen. I am unable to get over how many scenes I could've read about that just happened off page.
Overall, one the greatest stories of I have read. Has major pacing issues, but that cannot be helped with the nature of the story. I loved it.
