YES!! I put it down after the last page and thought, "Well, damn. I'm done, and I wasn't through with it yet!" It's like Tolkien, but with less King James Version and more sex. Or Narnia, but without the fluffy endings. Julia's story was just heartbreaking, and the ending...wow. I didn't want it to end, I want more, and yet I don't, because the end was so right that any more would be, well, wrong. (You've seen this, right? It's like it's out there...taunting us...)
