I don't know if I like Twilight or not. He was very pessimistic (which was fine), but, as a spy, I feel like he could've put more thought and planning into the mission that was at hand, it felt very rushed, but that could've been that
"Come back to Earth now and then, Yor, and maybe you could actually meet a man!"
Yor was the best! I wish we had more character and more development but she was introduced near the end of the book, so I can't say much. Hopefully, we can get her point of view in the next volume.
"This is the smartest one we got. She don't say much, but...... she's a good kid."
Anya was kind of whiney and annoying, but she seemed to get a little bit better at the end, and she's only six, so I should give her a break.
"For better or worse... For richer or poorer... In good times and in bad, in sickness and in health... I pledge myself to you. Until.... ....my mission... .....my killing... ...do we part."
