Such a good ending to the story. Loved the different POVs, and I didn't feel like one POV took away from another or that they were hamfisted in. Everything was just amazing.

Holy shit. Ho-lee shit. This is one of the most heart-wrenching, heart-breaking, beautifully written books I have read. You fall in love with Nirrin and cheer her on, understand why she does what she does, and even in the end when she makes the choice you know she shouldn't you still feel for her and understand her reasons. The only character I have loved more is probably Tea from Rin Chupeco's The Bone Witch trilogy, and even then it's a close race. Please do yourself a favor and read this book!
