Lazarus’ self loathing was expected and obvious. For someone so old, his character comes off hardheaded and dumb. I did like that (stupidly late in the story) his hardheaded-ness was explained so it makes sense. I didn’t like how the Tobias storyline just ended abruptly with no real conclusion

his eyes clearing to blue as he runs away made him seem redeemable,

I’m hoping he gets a more concise ending.
