Exploring Duality

This book follows Kit, formerly Chanchai or Tae-soo. They both exist in one body. Reunited with Tae-soo’s sister, Kit is invited to join her circle. KHS House is known for collecting artifacts. Kit finds himself knowing himself more, and he relates to the others. His attraction to Jong can no longer be concealed. Through this book, secrets are uncovered, and hidden truths are shared.

The story line is unique. The idea of Threlphax and humans being hosts has been explored, but Dooley explores this in a different interesting way. It touches on identity as most of the characters host a Threlphax within them. This brings questions of how much of myself I am being or how much I am influenced. This duality is something Kit faces yet struggles with on how the others would take it. It was interesting to read this book.
