This novel is extremely satisfying to read. Cale is one of the best MC I have read about and his interactions with the characters around him are what really drive this story. He is calm, calculative, and misunderstood to be someone extremely great and benevolent when all he wants is to live the slacker life. He'd be so much more believable if he really did just that, but the plot has so much in store for him that he has to work for it *sighs with him* His internal dialogues are golden as well and you can't help but smile at the contrast between those thoughts and the immediate situations around him.This novel has me smiling at how cute some character interaction scenes are, mainly due to all of the misunderstandings and exaggerations. It also makes the story really funny. As a heavily character-driven novel, this is one of those novels that you can come back to after maybe half a year and you could still remember even the most low-key side character, and even more so the more prominent ones. The author really fleshed out this aspect to the T, and nothing can ever go wrong with a great cast lineup especially with a pretty decently written world setting and conflict that drives them all together. Worth reading and rereading.
