Talk about an all-nighter! I started this book last night at 8 pm, and found I was incapable of stopping. It was so gripping, so easy to keep going, impossible, as they say, to put down. I'd read the first 2 already,last year - and though I couldn't remember all the facts & characters immediately (however, I do believe it's better to read these books close together, if possible) it all came back very quickly; it was as if I'd always known them, known these families and their fears. And suddenly realizing it was 1:30 am, can't stop reading, then I look up a little later - it's 3 am. I fell asleep near dawn. Woke up at 8 in the morning and couldn't get out of bed till I had finished the book. Never have I done that, not even when I HAD to, in college. It was so immediate, and compelling. Very strong ending, like a loud chord! I think this is the most powerful and moving of the series so far. Heartrending, too...the story so well told that you're not even aware time is passing. Myself, I didn't want it to end. And now, I see I'm somewhere in a wishlist of 43 others for the next book. I think this time I won't wait so long to read The Shade of the Moon, I may simply have to buy it!
