Let me put this into perspective. Someone is caught cavorting with terrorists. As punishment, the government sends them to live out their days at a classified site, where the country’s most advanced weapons are made.
Not only do I find it realistic when YA protagonists choose to handle things themselves, I would actually have to suspend too much belief if adults believed some of the crap going on in their children’s lives. Just try believing your child is Merlin reborn for one moment.
Thumbs up for the major death by the way. I was starting to think this was one of those series, where no one we care about dies. Almost like Lord of the Rings, now I come to think of it. I just hope the resurrections in Andor were a once off thing.
