Thoroughly enjoyed Misukis character arc. Wasn't expecting
to enjoy Takeru by the end of the book. His redemption felt earned and I appreciated the fact that he still has flaws to work through even as the forgiveness had started.
Really dark middle of the book, but it added a seriousness and weight that matched Misukis inner termoil nicely. Can't wait to experience more of this world.
