“This is what the Problem means,” he went on. “This is the effect it has. Lives lost, loved ones taken before their time. And then we hide our dead behind iron walls and leave them to the thorns and ivy. We lose them twice over, Lucy. Death’s not the worst of it. We turn our faces away.”
The works I like best always have some kind of philosophical reflection in them. The reflection on death and the dead makes this series more than just a fantasy YA battle series
