!SPOILERS HERE! Erawan and his siblings

Once again I come here without finishing the book but alas I still run to the keyboard.The final battle went on for too long and not at all in my opinion and I have thoughts I want to sit with regarding that but I just want to say even though Erawan was a big bad guy I feel some sympathy for him, unlike Maeve who was evil to be evil besides you know her husband or whatever. I guess I understand that if I were to be separated from my siblings a millenia I too would yearn for them, even if the bottom line is being evil I loved that at the end of the day it was all for his brothers and as a big sister, I felt that.

I find myself being more touched by the stories in the book that are not romantic, Yrene and Chaol are fine but the 13? I loved them so much more because love is not solved by this ambigious pull of "we are mates" but an active decision they make through out the whole story. I don't say that to invalidate the romantic parts of the book its just a personal preference.
