Similar character to Sage, but less defined strengths. I would probably enjoy it even more if I hadn’t had “The False Prince” as a standard.
I enjoy that he is actually able to use his abilities (and does frequently) instead of complain the whole series how he’s incapable and he doesn’t know how. That’s what bothers me about other fantasy series, like “The Darkest Minds”.

Penguin classic version.
“Lee's voice said, "I know that sometimes a lie is used in kindness.
I don't believe it ever works kindly. The quick pain of truth can pass away, but the slow, eating agony of a lie is never lost. That's a running sore."

"You wouldn't lay a trap for me?" Lee asked. "My wish isn't as strong as it once was. I'm afraid I could be talked out of it or, what would be worse, I could be held back just by being needed. Please try not to need me. That's the worst bait of all to a lonely man."

"I don't know where being a servant came into dis-repute. It is the refuge of a philosopher, the food of the lazy, and, properly carried out, it is a position of power, even of love. I can't understand why more intelligent people don't take it as a career-learn to do it well and reap its benefits. A good servant has absolute security, not because of his master's kindness, but because of habit and indolence.”

Haha, I love her thoughts on pages 187-188. I have definitely had the same attitude before

I cried.
