... Already the end. Rarely do I cling so much to the characters that I have come to feel a lack in closing the book (I think the last time was finishing Twilight, so it begins to rise). But it was the case with the After series, and Volume 5 upsetting. Three days now that I closed the last book, and the lack is felt, especially the lack of Hardin, a multifaceted character, touching, moving, moving. He is the key figure in this book, he took over the depth of 5 volumes, one learns to know him, to decipher his moods, understand his reactions, his painful past, her stormy youth. As for Tessa, she becomes a little less nunuche for my taste ... more mature, too, surely. I suffered with them over the lines, and we must admit that the lack and suffering they feel are perfectly transcribed. That's the word that remains throughout the book, and even after: lack. I'm not yet ready to open the first book and relive this tumultuous passion, devastating ... but sure, I will! One small problem (it is a detail, but still), the permanent reference Tessa brand Karl John Mark Todd ... Anna has touched in the pub for hidden, or Tessa is just mono-maniac? ?!
