And so it has ended

Alright, I'm finished the book. Phew! And yes MyAmericanFriend, it did get circus-ee right at the end. When the mentally ill heroine carves the name of the hero into her skin, and sits there in the middle of her gargoyle statues, covered in dust, bleeding to death. Melodramatico.

There was one line in the book that I liked, however. It's from another burn victim, speaking to our hero:

"And just when you start thinking that you've accepted who you are, that changes too. Because who you are is not permanent."

I like that. Not in a burn patient way, but for anyone. I'm not sure if I think it's true, but it's an interesting, thought-provoking line. The only one in the book.
