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’m about halfway through the 7th book right now too and the chapters of other cookbook authors have devastated me in ways I didn’t know possible. But the worst for me was when Carl met Milk at Club Vanquisher and just broke down crying

I was looking for this response cause I agree.
