Oh, but I did! Novo Send a noteboard - 15/04/2011 08:21:26 AM
You feel sad, shocked, almost betrayed by all of it but it is still so profoundly hopeful, so beautiful. By the end you're almost overwhelmed by it. And bad books don't do that.

Well, you've read it, but it's huge spoilers for people who haven't! Ghavrel - 12/04/2011 06:38:08 PM 1429 Views
I don't know, dude... rebelaessedai - 14/04/2011 03:23:35 AM 1275 Views

I seem to remember Modesitt's Towers of the Sunset had a romance element and a happy ending. *NM* PhotoJim - 12/04/2011 05:23:39 PM 682 Views
The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner Darth_Katie - 12/04/2011 07:02:39 PM 1310 Views
Or Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, perhaps? Camilla - 12/04/2011 07:11:30 PM 1314 Views
I was gonna suggest JS & MN as well. And Christie generally cheers me up as well, true. *NM* Legolas - 12/04/2011 07:20:44 PM 752 Views

I don't really count that as a happy ending, myself... Michael - 14/04/2011 09:03:53 AM 1368 Views
You know, I do not remember how it ends... Camilla - 14/04/2011 02:10:45 PM 1159 Views
The ending is admittedly disappointing. Legolas - 14/04/2011 07:53:29 PM 1238 Views

Room is great, but hardly qualifies as mind candy if you ask me... Legolas - 12/04/2011 07:23:10 PM 1382 Views
Ghavrel doesn't ask for mind candy in his original post. Rebekah - 12/04/2011 07:40:23 PM 1334 Views
This is true. Ghavrel - 12/04/2011 08:27:25 PM 1357 Views
