Something I appreciate about MWT is her willingness to allow her characters to have some fun. Like, this book features impending war, it could be deadly serious all the way through. But she allows her characters to be as real people often are (especially close friends) by letting them make inside jokes with each other and have lighthearted moments where appropriate, despite, or even *because of* the peril they face.

(Paraphrasing this because I don't have the book in front of me right now.)
Gen: "I left my wife and father alone together in the garden. Guess we'll see which one comes out alive."
Eddis: "Gen, you didn't."
Gen: "Kidding. About one coming out alive, anyway. They might both kill each other."
Eddis: *facepalm*
Narrator: They did not actually kill each other.

"You'd think if he was going to be rude, he would at least do it in his own language."
"But if we couldn't understand him, how would we know we were being insulted?"
LOL

I just love how Gen is like, "I know a fellow liar when I see one. #respect." Even better is that he recognized it was coming from survival, not malice.

I've wanted so badly to update with the many quotable moments in this book but am refraining in order to avoid accidentally spoiling anyone who hasn't read it yet. I love the character interactions SO MUCH though!!! <3333

I'm almost surprised how fast I'm moving through this after having had a couple slow-ish reading months, but at the same time, I've been looking forward to this for so long and Turner's writing is so smooth and easy to read. I'm enjoying it so muuuuuuch. <3

I hope you enjoy it! As always, there are content advisories on my reviews should you want to see them, but for secular fiction, they're really not bad in that regard.
