Ohmygosh, finished it last night! Okay...
Spoiler Below I don't know exactly why, but I got really emotional near the end of the book. You know, the part where Olaf dies and Kit's baby is born? The whole "circle of life" thing? I'm such a sap, I swear. I still feel like there's some ropes left untied, but I guess it would be pretty hard to explain absolutely everything to us. Hey, Lemony should come out with an encyclopedia on VFD! Then all of our questions could be answered.
