Oh man. This book, like it's prequels ripped me apart and build me back up again. The story and characters took hold of my emotions and made sure I felt every single one available to me.

"Something old and broken is less broken."

Oh my God. All the feels.

Now reaching the stage where part of me is desperate to get to the end and an other part of me wants to either stop or slow down so it doesn't. Wonderful torture.

My favourite quote so far:

“It’s a heavy burden, trying to love a world that doesn’t seem to love you back.”

Edmond Manning is brilliant. He's once again taking my breath away and making me think. So torn between rushing along to get to the end and taking it slowly while savouring every single word and thought.
