This is quite possibly my new favorite story. I listened to it, but I want to physically read it. The importance of objects and the importance of people were both so well shown and told.

I loved the first book so much, and honestly the second two were hard. I still cared and was invested in the characters and the plot, but it was frustrating and anxiety inducing at points. Do I regret going on this journey? No, not exactly. Would I do it again? Probably. In 300ish other scenarios. Still working on the calculations.
