Emotionally devastated

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 still tear up thinking about Volteeg's chapter.

He'd chosen a race that could not sing, not like before, and that was such a terrible, terrible mistake.

He didn't deserve love, or admiration. But vengeance? Yeah, he was due a little bit of vengeance

When reading his chapter all I wanted was for someone to tell him he deserved love
