Values clash
This book was deep in many ways. The story is beautifully complex and segues into each new event perfectly. Eight and his lichen grow up a bit together. Some of the lessons they learn and teach seem brutal, but are necessary. I don't think a content disclaimer is needed, but there is dreamed harm and threats to children, for those who need to know to expect that. Eight is still a delightful complex combination of a new over powered child with the wisdom and experience his previous life bring. I'm not sure how to feel about some decisions made that shook Eight's trust. He handles those in ways that are mature, and surprising. I am really anticipating reading more.
