Hard to rate this book honestly. I loved the main characters duo and their friends, and found the story endearing, especially regarding both evolutions and target. But there are several parts where I feel like this could have been better too.

The ending felt too long, the book could have ended around the 80% mark without changing much. Forcing a sudden attraction between the two boys felt also unnecessary regarding their common story during the course of the book.

The two main characters have deeply rooted problems regarding their distant past they don't tackle at all.

All the story around Dwight's ancestor, the fact that his father doesn't realize the pain it causes and the reason behind is not well constructed at all. Dwight goes in a trauma loop that isn't addressed in the book except by the fact that he suddenly tells this story in a Youtube stream where there's absolutely no correlation except being at friend's dad's.

Same goes for Leon that has deep troubles deeling with his mother's loss at birth that isn't addressed in the course of the book and seem to be a perfectly normal way to react and deal with others to everyone around him.
