This one was really solid for me. I was hooked the whole time, and enjoyed all of the interwoven plot lines. I was never quite sure where things were going at first, but as the pieces started to fit together, it became more and more satisfying. 

There were some truly heartbreaking, grisly moments that made me cry. Also some really beautiful ones. I wanted a little bit more of some things (and a little less of others), but in general, I'm very satisfied.
