#do you ever read two scenes so beautifully encompassing/bookending a series it makes you cry bc same

[hopecomesbacktolife]

I just finished reading @dianeduane’s Rihannsu series and it was absolutely incredible, so good, I absolutely loved spending some more time with old favorites (hello Mr. Naraht, and K’s’t’lk, my beloved!) as well as the love for Spirk banter and Bones sass too. And omg, Uhura’s consistent improvements to the slang translation systems was an ongoing joy! The plot was also so good, I was on the edge of my seat for pretty much the whole series, it was amazing 💖💖

but in particular, I am literally screaming about the tonal bookendings with which the final scenes of My Enemy, My Ally and The Empty Chair complement one another, like oh my god. what an emotionally beautiful and intimately quiet way to wrap everything up, and yet not at all sad (“sad? No!”) yet tinged with such emotion and, solemnity? alive-ness? it absolutely made me cry w/ the sheer beauty of it. 100/10 as always ♡🖖🏻♡ luv luv luv these books!!
