Why This Must Be Read:
While Rodney is not the POV character, nor is it even his story, it is still a lovely window into who he is and how he works. It captures his hubris and his sweetness in equal measure, and something of the passionate intensity which moves him. There's real emotion here, heartfelt and bittersweet. The author has a spare, lyrical quality to her work which I find compelling. She also exhibits a grasp of character that is inspiring.
A quote that undoes me, as well as the warning:
Character Death
“Give up,” Rodney whispered, and it was worse than if he had screamed. “Give up? Do you think that I wanted this? Do you think for one second that I wanted this?” He stepped toward John, the space between them a weapon. “Can’t eat, can’t sleep. Can’t taste or touch or smell or feel and know that it’s real ever again.” He had stopped moving, was staring into John’s face with cold, unflinching eyes. “Can’t have you.”
Her Summary: He held his hand.
