A review by doublec
Brothersong by TJ Klune

5.0

"You fight, little prince. And even when you stumble, you push on. Why?" My eyes stung. "I don't know how to stop." "Even when you feel the pull of the noose?" "Even then."

I cried with Ravensong but this book made me lose my body percentage of water in tears. And yet I loved it so much I don't know where to begin to explain just HOW much and why.

Was it because Carter is one of my favorite characters of the last years? Was it because the bond between Carter and Kelly is one of the most beautiful things I've ever read? Was it because I was so well written that I could not stop thinking about how good some sentences are? Was it because it was the end of a journey I loved so much I couldn't believe my luck in finding such a good series? It's all of them and probably so much more. It was a good journey, one of those in which you can't say when the story stopped telling something about fictional characters and where it started telling something about you. Yeah, it was that great and I wish I could erase it all to read it all over again and again with the same new eyes. I'll miss them all, I'll miss Gordo and Carter the most. I feel hollow and I feel whole. But mostly, even though I'm still crying because IT FINISHED AND I'LL NEVER READ ABOUT THEM AGAIN, I'm glad it's over because it's absolutely perfect the way it is.

And that's that.
