This book is beautiful.Almost completely different dynamics are explored in this one, yet it's still evocative and visceral as the first one was.It was especially heartening because I read this after coming back from watching Les Mis, which, I need to mention, was...spectacularly worse than I thought it would be =_=, but that's a whole 'nother, as the idiom says, can of worms.Jason, that awkward-but-endearing-child, and Kale, the Cool One...OTP-dom, possibly?
