This is a book about a lot of things. Heists, magic, despair, sacrifice, technology, heroes. But inundated through every thread, poured into every nook and cranny, is what it means to be alone and what it means to be connected. How terrified we are of being alone and how joyful it is to be together and the many obstacles, pains, rewards, and wonders in between How there are some things we can't fight, many things we can, and some that we never needed to fight at all.
The ending is one of the best I've ever read, bringing everything together for sweet and bitter, exploiting its premise to its fullest to tell you about these wonderful characters and how far they've come, about the world they built and we might build too, and about humanity itself. Even though it hurt my heart, I wanted to connect, to be better, to journey forward not as a conquering hero but with all the people I love. I didn't feel the same as I did before I read it, and that is perhaps that best thing a book can do.
It's been a long ride, and I thank the author for taking me on it, and the website for letting me tell it. Love.
