This got dark QUICK.

“My grandfather taught me that if a friend asks for your forgiveness, you should always give it […] He also taught me that if you have to give it again, that they weren’t a friend to begin with.”

Lee really ups the ante in this installment: shifty morals, blow after detrimental blow for the Kaul clan, added geopolitical intrigue, and you can’t have a universe this expansive without betrayal! These people are horribly conniving and BAD, and I am just beside myself by how much I’ve grown to care for them!

Again, I need the next one.
