So... I loved this book. Not gonna lie. I like pages as black as my soul.

But can we talk about Zade for a minute?
I understand the whole 'morally grey' thing (really, I do) but... Dude. I don't understand where the character is supposed to come from.
He's got this epic overarching need to rescue all the little kiddies from being fucked by the big bad guys, but then rapes the woman he's obsessed with? I mean-fine, if that's what gets you going, but tell us why?
Why set the company up and then turn on your own morals? I suppose "because he's Z and because he can" would be the answer to that, but... It doesn't make a heap of sense in terms of character arcs. That being said, I'd read it again.
Maybe I should, and maybe it would make sense a second time around, but for now I'm left a little confused.
