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.
