#2 - Infinity Alchemist
The end of this duology caught me a little by surprise. I wasn't sure where it was heading but I trust Callender. I was a little worried as we were getting towards the end and things still hadn't wrapped but they pulled it all into a knot at the end. Ash is such an interesting character; I don't always agree with his choices but, for the most part, I understand them. I feel the same way about Callum and Ramsay. I do feel that I got all I needed from this story; I'm glad it's a duology. I like the magic system and the world but the strength of Callender's writing is in the characters.

Quotes:
- "How could he not be angry in a world where humans justified killing others? Where so many believed that some deserved to be hated for simply existing? I think if I could choose, I wouldn't be angry at all. [...] I'm jealous of people who aren't. They seem so at peace. They're only at peace because they're ignorant. It isn't even within their imagination the amount a single person can survive."
