Such a real and raw story, displaying fear, loss, immaturity, hardship, companionship, and most importantly love. Reading the entirety, but especially book 2, was very painful to me, but not because the writing was flawed. It was because the concerns of each side were so painfully real that I couldn't come up with any counter arguments or ideas, and had to accept everything as they are when it was only downhill. 

This is my second priest book after Mo Du, and I need to preach them for their strongwriting skills. Although I find myself challenged by the transitions between scenes, more often that I would like to admit, I always end up being impressed. Hoping that this book also gets an adaptation that makes the story justice.

And most importantly, from queer people, to health and freedom.
