I don't honestly know. rebelaessedai Send a noteboard - 15/04/2011 08:02:08 PM
You feel sad, shocked, almost betrayed by all of it but it is still so profoundly hopeful, so beautiful. By the end you're almost overwhelmed by it. And bad books don't do that.


I don't remember how I felt at the end of it. I think I was a little disappointed. But he does talk about going back, right? Maybe I could see that being hopeful. Still, what they did to him... not a book I'd read in a sad mood, but that's me. ;)

I seem to remember Modesitt's Towers of the Sunset had a romance element and a happy ending. *NM* PhotoJim - 12/04/2011 05:23:39 PM 831 Views

Or Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, perhaps? Camilla - 12/04/2011 07:11:30 PM 1488 Views
I was gonna suggest JS & MN as well. And Christie generally cheers me up as well, true. *NM* Legolas - 12/04/2011 07:20:44 PM 880 Views
