Alla:
I am hoping that regardless of my beliefs I am able to enjoy any book
as a beatiful work of art and I did in fact do just that.
It is just emotionally I did not enjoy the ending at all. As I said,
I would not want it to be very religious ending, but I wanted some
hope at the end that one day in some other life (in another world,
reincarnation, whatever) those two will meet again.
I would absolutely recommend these series to anybody, but MYSELF I
will not be rereading them.
Thanks for your recommendation. :o)
