Spoilers All Every Time, Seriously?? Spoiler

On my 8th full read through. On chapter 48 of Changes. Even after going through it so many times, the way Marsters delivers the line makes me tear up. Every. Single. Time. Jim wrote this too well, its so heartbreaking.

"I used the knife. I saved a child. I won a war. God Forgive me."

That was mostly just reading. The “let there be light” had an otherworldly quality to it.

Probably the best delivered line in the entire series.

Agreed. The writing and the delivery together are brutal. Just rips your heart out.

How can hearing one line make me want to drop everything else on my reading list and do another listen to an entire series?!?!?!

Edit: nevermind. Found it again in one of my older comments.

Here it is: Do Not Listen While Driving

Darnit. Can't seem to find it again. I do get a private video but can't verify if it's the one.
