(I don’t think that’s a spoiler, so I won’t hide it. Also, his backstory with his family is perfecto. He’s all around just an amazing protagonist. He’s definitely not perfect, but who among us is? I love how even though he’s far from being a perfect person (and he knows it), he still does his best and truly does want good to triumph. Oh! And also, when the plot twist is revealed (if you know you know 😉 ) Sage only becomes the more loveable. Poor girl is having to endure so many changes. 🙂 But I heard that they get more development in the following books, so I’m excited to continue on with the series! But I was already excited, because Sage. I just think it would be fun to see them fleshed out a little more. So I don’t have a problem with the other characters. Also, Sage is more than enough to carry the story and get the themes across. However, this is a middle-grade book, so it’s typical that you won’t find a ton of depth in the side characters. (Cregan may be chaotic evil, but Conner’s way of manipulating others to get what he wants is SCARY, man.) Other than our protagonist and our villain, none of the characters are fleshed out, and they’re all pretty shallow. He’s the manipulative, calculating kind, which are always the most terrifying. The Sage with a bold, witty, and brave spirit, the Sage who would rather help others than benefit himself.īesides Sage, Conner is the only well-developed character with detailed motivations and a compelling backstory. Oh yes, once you read this book, you will get to know and love the Sage I know and love. Yes, at first glance he might seem like a complete idiot, and one who doesn’t care about anything except himself. He’s a loveably snarky nutcase, and I will never cease admiring his courage and care for others. Because as thrilling as this plot is, if the protagonist were anyone other than Sage, I don’t think I’d care much about this book. Really, he’s 99.9% of the reason I rated this five stars, and why I love it so much to begin with. Let’s just get that out of the way first. All I know is that I’ve enjoyed very few books more than I enjoyed this one.
