[Lucid:]

This afternoon, I finished The Ghost King by R.A. Salvatore. It's the last in a series of a kajillion (20-something) books. I bawled like a little baby at the end.

I really like all the philosophical stuff in this series of books. Sometimes there are simple typos, and enough of them that they really should have been caught. Sometimes the writing is cheesy and has such bad foreshadowing that it makes me cringe. But the way he writes his characters is so wonderful, and the trials he throws at them make them really come to life. Even the characters I don't like very much, I still feel compassion for if they're hurt or tormented. The characters really come to life for me, and the combination of the well-written characters and the creative plot really make the books wonderful.
