My only books were women's looks

In many ways this series took the place of Harry Potter for me: these were the books I devoured in a matter of days, trying desperately to ration myself to a few chapters a day just to make it last longer, to postpone the breathless wait, counting the days until the the next book (always preordered months in advance) arrived on my doorstep. I can't believe the series is over. But the last volume gave me everything I've come to expect from this series: I laughed, I cried, I exclaimed outloud, I clutched my heart in sweetness and pain for these characters who have all come so far. I couldn't have asked for a better ending.
