(5/5) I think the series got darker over time, but the love and warmth always permeated, which really resonated with me in a deep way. These sad sad sad characters. Ugh. Just bravo. And I hope the author is at peace and traipsing with all of his heroes and heroine in the shadowy, angelic, heavenly, labyrinthine, misty, after-life Barcelona. The most genuine, most deeply heartfelt. Bravo.

I can’t even put into coherent thought for how much I’ve loved this series. From when I was in Singapore. At age 17? This book helped me discover my love for the gothic and coming of age. It’s so easy to fall in love with every tragic and delirious character. Most of all I’m awed by the writing.

“The end of the road. It was worth it.” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I’m crying. A longer and more meandering journey than l’amica geniale but with no less attachment. I just dont want to let go…..

Journeys really coming to an end now.. and I don’t want it to…. I have 20 pages left and I just keep not continuing.

The love of my life of a book. It’s wrapping up now.. when Alicia left it’s… ;(( one day I’ll re read them all in one go. I love this sad fucked up world so much. Poor Isabella. Labyrinth was not my favorite I think but it’s the most immersive. Kinda like a grand tour, snippets and saying goodbye to these characters thatve grown up. Now im reading JULIAN’s book?! Wild. I don’t want to let them go…

Did some reading lake side in Yosemite, a very non-gothic setting but the story still transported me. Cya hendaya 👋

Spoiler alert *******





VARGAS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I TAKE IT BACK. TAKE FERNANDITO 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

If something happens to Fernandito I’ll kms 😭

Jesus fuck this book is dark. His darkest yet… Julian carax, victor mataix, and David Martin.. what went on in this guys mind to come up with these tragedies… and are we not far off from Franco’s Spain? How long until Adelanto turns into monjuic…. I think I’m being dramatic. But damn this is a depressing read
