I sobbed for 20 minutes from 90% and onward, even after I finished.  I love these characters. I love their development. I love the relationships they forge with others. I have so many highlighted quotes in these books that bring a smile to my face. Damn you, Pierce Brown.

If you've made it to the 6th book of this series, you won't need convincing to keep reading! Amazing continuation.  Slightly less grim than Dark Age.
