You can tell just how much the author appreciates his/her fans by the fanart she put into the last scenes. That was the first time I had ever seen anything like that. I think it made the ending much more meaningful and enjoyable. I enjoyed this series so much because it didn't let its characters fall into a cycle of pessimism and mediocre development but rather employed the opposite of optimism and progress while also being consistent. Also, ships (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

I love how the story has progressed. I find myself laughing and cheering for our protagonists more than ever before. What I find fascinating about this series is how much character development occurs from relying on the wisdom of others rather than yourself. It kind of goes to show how beneficial it can be to lean on and place trust in others. While Thorfinn is a good fighter, what I care about more is how he matures mentally. In many other stories, the protagonists hardly change, but seeing the progress in Thorfinn makes me giddy with excitement.

Holy cow, I cannot believe that I just read that. This is the first time I've read about a girl in love so much that she regretted being a girl and wanted to be a guy. I'm amazed and feel even worse for her. It's like looking at min gyeom again
