A perfect ending to the series and a wonderful beginning to my year! I'm not sure if the 5 stars are for this particular book or just for the series, but anyway, I'm sticking with it.  I love the characters and how we move around from person to person.  I love how different each person felt and I never had an issue with the people feeling the same.  I really loved the ending and how everything was wrapped up.  I saw some reviews about it going too slow in the middle of this one and maybe it did a bit, but it didn't go slowly enough for me to notice and bring me out of the reading.  It was just great and I had a wonderful time with all the thought-provoking plot lines.  This would be a great series for book clubs because the discussions could be great!
