    <body><![CDATA[Wow. I mean, really. Wow. What a great book. I don't think I've ever been engulfed by a story like this one in such a long time. The characters were so vivid and well developed. The story was filled with ups and downs. One note of criticism I will offer is it seemed like the author filled the later half of the book with a lot of &quot;fluff.&quot; It's as if the characters spent the first half of the book living their life, and the latter half of the book reminiscing about their life and recounting it. Still, seeing the main characters finally get the closure they longed for made this epic story worthwhile.]]></body>
