Favorite part about this series. Love them all for different reasons. One of my favorite ensemble cast. They're all great and they compliment each other really well.
Emotionally
The plot was what I'd come to expect from this series and so much more than that too. It was intense, dramatic, dark and full of action. It was a culmination of all the different threads that had been developing throughout the series. There is so much going on at once, so many different parts that come together to create the plot for this book and it's in such a crazy way. I didn't see a lot of what happened coming and it really shocked me when I thought this series couldn't possibly do that anymore. As for the outcome of everything, there were things I loved, things I hated and things that made total sense to me as they happened.
I feel like this is one of my favorite casts of characters ever. They are all complex and intricate, and they're connected to each other in immeasurable ways. By this book, there aren't any main characters. Each one had their own book almost, which highlighted their history and their plot lines and helped to culminate the end of this story. It makes the story so much more beautiful in my opinion (kind of want to reread this series now).
