I’m not one for spoilers so I’ll just this, many of the characters show depth they’ve only ever alluded to in the past books. We saw flashes of it here and there but this book has more raw “human” emotion that took me by surprise in the best possible way.

Pony’s moment with his best friend literally brought tears to my eyes. Such an amazing addition to what was already my favorite series. I’ve just finished it for the second time since it came out 3 days ago. I’m starting again.
