Never Die

4.5 stars. I really enjoyed this book, especially the quest and friendship elements. My problem was I kept getting pulled away by the descriptions of the character with leprosy since from the start he felt really stigmatized. Then I deep dived into symptoms and realized Hayes got the symptoms wrong and was really perpetuating myths about the disease. From then on the repeated mentions of “the leper” and his symptoms just made me really angry every time. Not sure why Hayes chose to go this route...and how could someone with such severe “symptoms” of the disease be an expert marksman???
