This book is very well written and there’s passages I have highlighted as lessons and to remember. However, this book, like many in the series, was hard. The state of the universe, its affairs and people, is dispersing and hard to read. I want the book to be over and yet I want to read more. As someone who enjoys happy endings and dislikes turmoil and trouble, these books can be torture. I did not reread the prior books and had some difficulty remembering the characters and what happened but also knew I couldn’t read them all together (too long and painful). I always wonder if I should stop reading this series…
