Status Updates From A Practical Guide to Evil V...

Very morbid compared to earlier books in the series and I’m strongly suspecting this finale will not be a happy one.

So good. The developments in the East — amazing. The confrontation between Catherine and the Intercessor, and the following fallout — amazing. The way all the loose knots were resolved in Salia — amazing. And the way Catherine handled the Warden of the West trap — amazing.

This final book has proven itself to be the best piece of work, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

I’m looking for the word that describes the feeling when one comes to the last book in a particularly amazing series. I’m still so excited to be a part of this story. But I’m so sad that the end is coming and I know nothing will compare afterwards. Reddit came to the rescue with “hansum” (Korean), desiderium, and Saudade (Portuguese). I’ll be trying these on for size throughout book 7.
