Furysong by Rosaria Munda
5.0
"Sing me now your fury-song"
Update: 12/15/24
There may come a day when I can reread this book without crying like a baby, but today is not that day. This was my third time reading Furysong and I managed it better than the first two times, but man... that one scene comes and I cannot handle it.
The biggest change upon this read was that I actually found quite a bit funny (somehow) in this book, which my devastation hadn't allowed previously. I love how sassy some of the characters are in this one, even with everything terrible happening.
This is a perfect conclusion to a perfect series and I can't wait to cry over it again and again.

There are really no words for how much this series means to me and every time I try to find them, I just feel more overwhelmed by the magnitude of love I have for this trilogy. As with the rest of the series, Furysong book only got better upon reread.
The things that broke me the first time were just as heartbreaking. The beautiful moments were even more beautiful. I don't know how Rosaria Munda manages it, but every time I reread one of these books, I end up just a bit more in awe of it than I already was.
To say that this book - this series - is perfect is honestly an understatement for just how special it is to me.

If there was ever a perfect book in my mind, it's this one.
This is the kind of book that has made me question if I've ever truly loved a series before this one. Never before has a book made me feel so much. I had to set this book down because I was so devastated I needed to step away for a bit. I have literally never had to do that before.
There isn't much I can say without spoiling this or the rest of the trilogy so I'll just say that this book was perfect. Any concerns I had over this book not living up to my (extremely high) expectations were pointless. Rosaria Munda truly outdid herself.
Not that it needed to, but this book has confirmed the Aurelian Cycle's place as my favorite series of all time. I care so much for these characters and this world. (For someone that never cries while reading, I cried when someone brushed a little kid's hair. That's how gifted Rosaria Munda is at making mundane moments emotionally charged and devastating.)
Overall, I mean it when I say this book is perfect and I will continue trying to force everyone I know to read it. I genuinely kind of feel like there's a hole in my heart now that I've completed this series.
Seriously, read this series. You won't regret it (she says, sobbing uncontrollably.)
