Just finished Kingdoms of Death...
Holy shit, I couldn't put it down after The Black Feast started. First Elara, then Crim, then Ilex.... it was rough. I couldn't keep it together after Pallino died. I had sliver of hope for Corvo that was quickly dashed. That whole sequence was so well written, and is a top 5 scene for me in fiction. Went to bed sad and crying last night, and freaked my wife out and had to try to explain what happened.
Woke up this morning, made coffee. Got started on the final couple chapters aaaaaannnnndddd crying again. What an way to bring Gibson back AGAIN, and then leave me with all these questions about who this dude was before he was "Gibson" and for our hero to lose his dad.
Now I'm gonna try to make some breakfast to wind down, and maybe go for a walk. It has been a long fkn time since a series has had it claws in me like this.
Bravo, Christopher Ruocchio.
