Damn it's true!
The characters are really alive, real, and not only them, the whole world seems alive and realistic. Little details like Chester's horn tips make me really happy. It's smart, simple, but very effective in adding believability to the world.
The same applies to characters. Every little detail in them is so well written that you want to learn more and more, and every time you just fall in love with these characters more and more.
Everyone has their own story, their own negative and positive aspects of character, and all this creates a story that feels real. Like... it's not just saturated with idealization of relationships and romance, and also not going into the complete bleakness of the brutally real world, there is a great balance here. You fall in love and sometimes act stupid, you are happy and enjoy the time spent with friends and your loved one, but you also need to look for a job, study and do everyday things, sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry.
... I guess this novel gives me hope that an ordinary, quiet life can be much more valuable than all sorts of crazy adventures and trying to achieve incredible goals. Hope such a life is possible.
So I also look forward to updates every month, it's like a lifeline!
