Finished this book one minute ago. I read the last 100 pages in one sitting and it’s now 2am. I’m just stunned and so relieved by the ending. It’s been so long since a story had me so invested that I felt physical ache for the characters’ love and misfortunes. Jane is such an icon I love her strong sense of self. I love the motifs in the imagery like the moon and wind and woods and fire etc It’s exquisitely written. I underlined the shit out of this book to the point i think I’ll have to buy a new copy since I destroyed this one with love. Definitely one of my all time favourites now
