You know that gasp that happens when a group of people are communally experiencing a story and thing that they really , really hope is going to happen that they are suspicious but more hope might happen takes them still by surprise?
I just did that.
With a book.
I think it's the first time i have ever done that.
And the author did it BEAUTIFULLY.

edit:
Actually, I experienced a similar sensation the day before while watching an anime.
It was more relief, but it was still what I was hesitant to call the feeling from the book: cathartic.
Interesting because neither was a conclusion.
Well, in the anime, it was toward the end of an episode.
"Last Hero". Give it a chance. Deep.
