Ah, there is so much here and it is all amazing! I feel kind of incoherent about it! I like how comprehensive it is, how it manages to cover all the various phases and aspects of their relationship from the sweet parts to the savage parts. I especially liked the exchange over the book, because it's so soft and sweet and then followed immediately by Dominic's viciousness in the next section.

Although I think the Echoes part was my favorite, because it was hilarious. Trying to kill Echo is like trying to kill a puppy! He wants to school Topher, of course he does! JUDITH! And then there's the part where he wants to tell her he's a spy, but even drugged he knows that's a terrible idea, and it's so sad and also weirdly sweet. He just wants to come clean!

And I really love the last two scenes too - the second to last one, because it's really how I imagine their relationship going if they both live long enough. Like it was in the first place, but better, because then they don't have the lies and the professionalism to come between them. And then I think ending with the beginning was perfect!
