What an end to an incredibly duology. I don’t have many words but I do have the one quote that made me immediately burst into tears. (Spoilers?)
“I’ll find his grave, and bury you together. You had no descendants, but I’ll remember you. And my descendants, and their descendants, will remember you, and pray for you, at the monument I’ll build to your names.”
Just an insane duology about such complicated characters who I have many complicated feelings about and still couldn’t help but to hope they came out ok at the end of this story.
