How do you like the character of Ish? I see you're basically through it, so maybe you're going to write a review, but I'm curious. I remember reading it and liking the story concept, but not being wild about him :x.

Yep, almost done. Review will come soon. As for Ish, Stewart does a good job of making him normal. He's not a commando nor a super genius, his super power is being a reader and being a little bit more of a planner than everyone else. He reminds me a bit of Holden Caulfield from Catcher and The Rye but someone who has to develop a savior complex and the ego sneaks up on him. I think your feelings towards him is warranted but I also think it's on purpose you were suppose to feel that way.
