I am genuinely lamenting the end of this series. These characters, the plot, the magic system were all so so enchanting and all I wanted was more. The combination of three different points of view was magical and made the story so much more engaging. The development of the characters and their backstories was one of the best I have ever read. Essun’s character was probably my favorite storyline of a main character ever. The resilience of her character, in all three of her forms, was astonishing to read. The loss of lovers, children, and family should have broken anyone. But not her. This was the mark of a great story and a great character – a woman who, although she has been through hell, was able to give herself for her daughter at the end of the world. A truly  wonderful series of novels.
