[Hermes]

Or even after you've read the entire thing, the Author's biography, and all of the series.

A book is a story, but usually, the characters and settings run deeper than simple words on a page. Anyone who writes in a real way knows that a character can become a part of you, and usually stems from a piece of who you are as it is. It's like Roland, Pontus, Elias, Paul, and Gabriel, for me. They may just be characters to other people, but to me, they're intricate pieces of my own Psyche.

The only one who can truly judge a "book" will do no judging until said "book" has reached the end of their epilogue.
