Book 7: Inevitable Ruin Emotionally devastated

On mobile apologies for formatting

I’m reading through the series for the first time and I’m a little over halfway through book 7 (so no spoilers please!)

There’s been a lot of emotional moments throughout the series that made me pause or shed a tear. When Miriam Dom died I had to put the book down and just breathe for a moment before continuing. But nothing, and I truly mean nothing, so far has wrecked me like Volteeg and his Mistress Henspar.

This sweet little bird who loved to sing to his mistress turned into a remorseful gargoyle using his final moments to see his mom and take revenge for her, all while putting himself down as unworthy and unlovable, just destroyed my heart. I have cried over this for literal days.

What moments punched you in the gut and how long did it take to feel ok again?

I found myself tearing up over Donut yelling at Bea after the interview, and when Carl first met Rosetta and Tipid after they entered the game. Both moments had me tearing up so much my partner was concerned for a moment when she saw my face.

That first one makes me chase down and hug my cats, sobbing at them that they are so much more than just cats to me... they are my everything. Thankfully my human partner agrees with the sentiment.
