I'm a fan at how Patrick Ness weaves the magical and surreal into the modern day and at the same time, he uses this setting to reflect on the human condition, the trauma we face - especially as vulnerable kids who are looking to the adults to have answers only to be denied these answers because teenage problems aren't considered real problems by society at large. But he does this so gently and compassionately within the chaos and confusion of the world he's crafted. This one is definitely less abstract than More Than This, but still such a good examination of the human condition while telling a beautiful story.
