Caleb is one of my favorite critical role characters and this hits exactly as hard as it should. Also, I really really appreciate the intentional polyamory inclusion. Astrid, Eadwulf, and Bren are so tragic, but I love them deeply and it was wonderful to see their relationship threaded throughout the entire story. Also, re: the end

I am obsessed with the choice to end the novel with him introducing himself for the first time as Caleb Widogast. It's a name that became his because that is the identity he used when he met his new family and it gives me the Big Feelings.
