One of the mind-boggling books of Riggs yet
Winning or experiencing victory on your first journey is a bad teacher because it could make you overconfident in your future or current endeavors/journey or goals. And failing on your second journey is often much more painful if you did not fail mostly because of your arrogance
Put that lesson in a science fiction/fantasy world like Riggs of course the results would be an intense captivating 4th novel. His imagination depth and breadth is unparalleled for me. I could never guess what comes up next and the photos just give more intrigue in my mind rather than any sense of clarity with what is happening which is
Although supposedly targetted for young adults but I guess we all have moments of victory that made us ill prepared for the next project we must tackle or at least a sense of diving into the world we thought we knew but actually is completely utter dangerous mystery to us.
I hate Jacob for acting this way, because he is not as kind and humble and he was before but I do think this is the way to write a story that is closely mirror reality even if it is scifi: Success can get into our heads more than we could ever expect.
