I was not reading for this turmoil at 1am!

Nope. Was not ready for that emotional turmoil at 1am.
I know the ending really splits people but I did find it satisfying it didn't need to be more than it was except maybe a little less heartbreaking.
All through the books I've enjoyed The Darkling as a baddie and I'm still slightly sympathetic towards him even now after all the nasty stuff he pulled.
I liked how the story was resolved with all the endings wrapped up nicely and most people getting exactly what they deserved and needed (Even Oncat).
I will desperately miss the characters in the books, their growth was amazing and natural and wonderful to see them develop the way they did.
The Grisha universe has truly been an amazing visit to start my 2019 and I'm saddened to be leaving it now.

Kudos

Acting at it's finest! (1 more)

A fantastic look into the life of one of the most remarkable people ever on this earth.

Fantastic.

Yes the movie can feel long when you are not in the right mood to watch it but seriously, get yourself into the mood to watch it (nice, calm afternoon cosy up the blanket with a cup of tea and some biscuits). It will make you laugh, cry, be angry, sad, elated, humbled, inspired and be in awe with the remarkable man that was Stephen Hawking (may he rest peacefully.)
It not only shows his amazing resilience but it also shows the effect on his family, particularly Jane Hawking. She seemed to be such an amazing, strong influential woman that definitely helped more than she knows in Professor Hawking's like and accomplishments.
Please watch this movie atleast once, it just goes to show that anything is possible.
