Another time, Twitchtip snuggled up next to Gregor. There’s one time when Gregor was happy that the other bats let Ares sleep with them. Not in a romantic way, but it just shows that people need touch. There are a couple moments where the comfort of physical touch is emphasized. There’s one little thing in particular that stands out to me that’s the theme of this post. I also love watching the relationship between Ares and Gregor develop- from “Why’d I bond with this guy again?” to “I would die for you, man.” Not only do I love their relationship on its own, but this sets up the stakes for the next book, as well. To have that genuine hope die in books four and five gives the series a darker, more realistic feel. Without knowing how the series actually ends, I would have thought that the Bane threat was over. I really, really like the introduction to the Bane, and how in the end everything seemed okay with him. Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane, the second of the Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins, is just as good as the first (which is saying something).
