A fictional character's death in the Witcher books.

I was reading a fantasy book about a monster hunter, I didn't expect that one, last paragraph of a chapter, out of the blue, would make me actually uncontrollably cry. The author has been criticized for his writing style but holy shit this was like waking up from a dream that suddenly turned into a nightmare.

And no, it's not a character you necessarily know if you've only played the games.

Witcher Books major spoilerEssi Daven's (Little Eye) death. Fuck you Geralt. She was the one for you.
