Oh my, that ending tore me in two. 
 In these books, whenever something absolutely and positively happy and amazing happens, boom!, all turns to worse than it was before and someone dies or someone leaves or someone is eliminated or someone is SOMETHING. 
 I just want everyone to give this series a go. I'm giving it 5 stars because of my enjoyment rather than its themes and morals and whimsical adventures. No, just because of my enjoyment. 
 I need The Crown.
