This book is truly hilarious, heartwarming, surprisingly dark, and at points even strangely erotic. It brought up really interesting moral questions about humanity and if 'bad people' can be rehabilitated:

"Was his father a monster. Or was he merely doing what he had been created to do? Was there a difference?"

However much I enjoyed it, it did keep reminding me of Chamber's A Psalm for the Wild-Built, and could not quite hold up to it. The ending also was a bit of a let down for me, it didn't feel quite as special as I was hoping for. 

However, still a beautiful and hilarious book I'm very glad I read.
