Ah, Elua! So i had posted about how part of me wished Phe went with Mel in book two, and while there’s still a little part of me that would have liked to have seen that (as i think there’s a part of Phe that wonders that too!), the 3rd book was so satisfying. The sense of adventure was wild. Frodo and Sam COULD NEVER. the sheer distance they travel, i mean, i was, like them, feeling exhausted and so ready for them to make it home. The whole middle section of the book was extremely depressing and disturbing and i really felt like i was there with her.

I wrote in another post elsewhere some musings on how i felt so seen in these books, how as a masochist myself, I’ve never seen my feelings and desires so perfectly articulated, but the books are so much more than that. All of the characters, even the small ones she meets along the way, i miss.

I ordered the Imriel trilogy and can’t wait to read them! I am having a hard time finding physical copies of the Naamah trilogy (i think it’s out of print?) but i suppose I’ll sort that out when i get there.

Anyway, gahhh i just love this series so much its just taken over my world 😍
