So I just finished a book (more musings on that in a sec), but I wanted to talk the feeling I got after finishing it. A feeling which I get frequently when I finish any series.
It's this feeling of almost melancholy. A feeling that's a mix of peace and sadness and longing. I think the core of it is the fact that I won't hear from those characters again. That those characters' time in my life are at a close.
I don't know how to describe it precisely. Melancholy is definitely a good word for it.

More musings about the book itself:
I just finished the last book in the Healing Wars trilogy by Janice Hardy; a trilogy which I first read many moons ago (sometime during middle school probably, don't remember exactly when).
It was fun to revisit the world, fun to have random memories pop into my brain of potential events, fun to see what details of those memories were true/false.
Getting to revisit the magic system was particularly interesting.
Being able to experience all these things with the lenses of my adult self was interesting.
