Finally picked it up after a while. Even though the beginning of part 3 is not as intense in terms of action compared to the first two, I like how committed Ridley is despite what he went through. I feel like adding this strategic-thinking mode he is in adds a nice flow to the story, contrasting with stressful and sometimes brutal parts in the beginning.

End of chapter 40: Excuse me??!!!

Anything related to the little girl is really touching, and every character’s investment in her well-being warms my heart.
On the other hand, the blurry-boundaries-but-still-exciting dynamics does not really fit my personal taste 🙃

I feel like when Ivan is reassuring Margaret, his words are reassuring me in a way. I really like the progression of this character so far.

Loving the current part where Ivan, after taking his dog and leaving his mother’s boyfriend’s house, shares his way of thinking about about how others might perceive him. His mother and step brother can judge his “awkwardness” but he mentions he doesn’t **need** to view himself that way.

I really enjoyed the contrast between being in Peter’s fast paced brain and the unexpectedly calming vibe when reading what’s going on in Ivan’s head. It is interesting to see the main characters being forced to love each other, because they are from the family they didn’t choose.

Another interesting thing, page ~250-260(?), the fundamentals of logic?! Bringing me back to the lectures
