The Pharos Gate

I'm giving this book five stars on behalf of the entire series. “Pharos Gate” wrapped up this deep and wondrously creative series beautifully. Looking back it feels wrong to have rated each book separately. Perhaps I will “unstar” them at some point.

I was gifted the first trilogy from an acquaintance who is slowly letting go of her possessions as she moves into the later stages of life—she felt that they were made for me. I didn't feel a connection when she handed the books to me, and it took me over a month before I sat down to read them. It felt like an obligation of sorts, but this quickly dissipated as I was pulled into the correspondence and esoteric/metaphysical lives of Griffin and Sabine. I even shed tears. I couldn't believe that the library had the last four books with all the letters (and extra notes/symbols) intact.

I can't put into words what the series meant to me... and that's probably because I don't quite understand the significance with my logical mind.

Oh, and I loved that author updated his photo in this book. It was a piece of evidence that showcase how the series has evolved in linear time.
