I really enjoyed the sweet relationship between Sarai and Lazlo in this book. While my interest in the story waned a bit in the middle, the last 100 pages really picked up the pace! The more I think about the different elements of this book, the more I come to appreciate them.
I found it funny when Lazlo said rage didn't suit him (I feel the same way about myself), but you really see him lean into that emotion and develop some incredible confidence at the end all thanks to Sarai. They complement one another nicely.
I really appreciate the way the conflict between the citizens of Weep and the "Godspawns" is portrayed. I think both sides have valid arguments, and I found Minya to be a well-written antagonist. It made the book even more enjoyable.
