First, because to me, it’s a story about how much it hurts to be free, really free. Of course, this topic is brushed in the book and the show - when all the characters choose to cut their ties (from prophecies, heirdom, haven, hell…). Well, the truth is that the process of freeing yourself is generally hecking ugly : it hurts like ripping off a bandage. Its messy, it’s raw, you’ll have to take a good look at yourself and overcome a lot. This pain is woven here in every single beautiful word.

It’s also a story about how much you have to work and talk and fail and try… to build a balanced relationship. Sometimes, you have to hold on and sometimes, you have to let go. As a rock climber and as a lover - this is perhaps one of the most vivid, beautiful and heart-wrenching depiction I've ever read about that very simple truth.

This is also a story about fear. How it shapes you - and damage you more than any wound or bad experience will ever. Because in this story, you’ll find a lot of what we’ve all been through these past few month thanks to the epidemic. The fear of loosing your life. The fear of loosing the ones you love. The fear of a threat so huge and transcendant, looming everywhere and that you literally haven’t the power to fight off. A threat from which you can just run and hide. This is a very cathartic story, I think, and a welcome thing to read right now.
