I love reviews that are like "i only read 7% of this book cause after the first act the perspective changed and the new characters are too flat" yeah me too i hate it when i have to figure things out about the characters and the world as the story progresses. if i wanted to think i wouldn't be reading books

i dont know why this is what sticks with me most at the end of the story, but ive only been able to think about that metaphor. of flying, of knowing how the air flows around you. of pointing yourself in the direction you want to move

erik is always pointed towards true moral north, but only helps if that's where you want to go. a compass wont help you at the north pole, or in space, or after a major electromagnetic event. and when erik is moved but unable to change his orientation it leads to chaos and disaster, for him.
because erik is the ideal of america as the world's military police. even at it's absolute best, it's incapable of being anything other than what it is.

there was a contradiction about erik that i didn't really understand at first. he's painted as this 'perfect moral compass', unable to be bent from the path of true good. but that manifests itself as a white american commando doing summary execution.
but when davoud talks about how important it is to point in the direction you're moving when you're flying, it all sort of clicked.
feeling immensely proud despite in reality spending over an hour on my computer clicking little boxes again and again
