This is an amazingly written book with a great storyline and amazing side characters, but I completely disagree and hate the moral premise this book is making. The main character had no right to do what he did and the fact that he felt no remorse makes it worse. I kinda get his theory, but I see it more as how it is not how it should be. If followed exactly, it would become an oligarchy and strip people's rights because they "don't know what they are doing". I can't mention enough how much I adore Dunia and the mc's best friend. These people are just amazing. It is a great book. I just wished that the mc felt actual regret and had a conscious.

Although it was quite complex and multilayered I felt that it could've been shorter. Since it was incredibly long it was not as impactful as I hoped. Also I thought that the ending was just weird. After so much darkness and hopelessness

all is resolved with the power of love? What was that? Also the misogyny was quite awful especially during the part before the confession scene
