I guess I expected him to be more shy, less decisive from the beginning of the book. But I guess he's closer to how humans really are - unpredictable, not linearly progressing from one kind of being to another.
Before I started reading it I saw the tag "romance" somewhere, but I saw it as a light adventure book all the way. Excellent read for the unusually hot summer we've got now.
