At the end of 2016, this book was my last hurrah before sliding into a seven-year reading slump. I have never stopped thinking about it.
When I first read this book, I was 18 years old; when starting this reread, I was concerned that I might not fall in love with it again, the way I had before. I did not need to be worried. This book is phenomenal. It's full of amazing characters and a world that I could not wait to learn more about. It was truly a wonderful experience to fall in love with it once again.
