I simply can't fathom how something like this happened. My mind just hurts at the moment.

I can't exactly write an objective review after just reading it, but I can tell you how it made me feel.

It gave me the whole range of emotions from pain to joy and anything in between. It made me feel absolutely destroyed by the end of volume 6. Volume 6 simply ended my sanity. Volume 7 redeemed me. It was an amazing ride from start to finish, with my only (minuscule) complaint being Chapter 2. Everything else was perfect and an amazing work of literature. I will re read this many, many times to come.

It explored each character, every relationship, and made everything feel plausible, and was very rarely rushed. I would recommend this to anyone! That is, anyone who can get over the absolute cluster of information in Volume 1. It's not simple to understand at first, but it all clicks together by the end of it.

It's a masterpiece.
