and he was hers.
Excuse me??? Hero has shown to be a living thing and, from what the author has been trying to show, the gang is starting to understand and see him a not just a character. Yes, they still bring it up and occasionally throw it in his face, but more bcs all the characters in this book are dislikable and flawed. I was really hoping that the author was trying to portray Hero as having embraced that he exists now outside of a book, permanently. But if he is still seen as property of the library this just makes all that perception die and his character development insignificant.
