![]() ![]() This is a delayed-thesis book, so the main character grows through regret and suffering. In particular I found the bits about enjoying violence very off putting. ![]() So much so, that I felt like I was listening to some sort of deranged manifesto. The problem is that Danny, at least in the first few chapters, it completely full of #2. I almost shut this one off and returned it a few chapters into, but I'm glad I didn't. This one had me worried a few chapters into it. Fictional or not, she has already saved many real human lives. Danny is the superhero we need even though we, as a civilization, haven't done enough good to deserve her. Honestly? This book helped me with my own issues a little. This author understands suffering, and trauma, and self-loathing, and in those ways I was really able to relate to Danny as a character. I'm a cisgender man, and maybe this isn't my place.but this author GETS IT. ![]() Most of all, I'm glad that this novel got a proper epilogue compared to the abrupt stop of the first novel. The Nemesis stuff I feel a little uneasy about, but I'll have to see how the author realizes that later down the road. We really get to see Danny struggling with her character flaws and inner darkness. The world-building is as phenomenal as ever. There were times where I kept pausing it to draw out the pleasure of the experience, or because the emotions got too intense for me. ![]()
