"I HAVE NO WORDS AND I LOVE THIS UNIVERSE SO MUCH."

That's what I predicted I would say. I wasn't completely wrong, because I do love this universe so much, but I do have a few words. Namely, I am so here for pretty much everything that happened in this book. I do agree with whoever said it was too neat -- it was tied up just a little bit too neatly for my taste. That said, I still loved what we got. Break my heart, why don't you, Garth Nix.

I think most of what I'm feeling right now is "I could have read a thousand more pages of this". Because I could have, easily. And I hope that I get to. I'm not going to beg you to write more, Mr. Nix, but... I will strongly suggest that you do that. Pretty please.

SPOILERY BITS BEYOND THIS POINT. LOTS OF SPOILERS. SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS.

1) I really liked the concept of there literally being no air beyond the Great Rift. Like... REALLY liked it. Maybe it's because space fascinates me and I'm thinking of this as functioning like a vacuum, but... yeah, good choice. I would read more about people coming up with ways to get around that minor obstacle.

2) Clariel broke my heart. She was so at war with herself and it hurt me.

3) LIRAEL LITERALLY SHRIEKING "LOVE YOU" GAVE ME LIFE. OH GOD.

4) SABRIEL HAVING NO FUCKING CHILL ALSO GAVE ME LIFE. I love her dearly.

5) I sniffled and/or sobbed at every mention of the Dog, as expected. God. Help me. I'm a wreck.
