Interesting world, glorifies possessive and violent men. No character growth, the same things keep happening with the same or similar results each time. Wanted to finish it but had to listen at 1.5x speed to make it through.

This was one of the best fantasy books i have read this year. i want to say so much but it's difficult without spoiling anything. personally, i just love "on-the-road" stories, where people get to know each other and live through adventures. there are some heavy topics in this book, but they are all woven into the story and it all makes sense.

i love rey.

jonas' story is kind of tragic. the book is so well-written that you can see the love that forms but you can also see the looming car-crash. nothing jonas does is truly a surprise in the end. and it just shows the circle of violence of how the victim becomes the perpetrator. i am in awe of his characterisation and the portrayal of their dynamic. like.. damn. thats a punch in the gut.
