This is my third read of the book and by far my most forgiving review of it. I’m gonna stop pretending that I don’t love this series, even with it’s many, MANY controversial subjects. It’s got everything: war, action, a passionate and all-consuming love story, endearing accents, philosophy, religion, etc. It’s so complex and Diana’s research shows. I want to try to reread/read the rest of the series (I only made it to the beginning of The Fiery Cross), but we’ll see how that goes !
