RE: KAVINSKY

I think the implication is that Kavinsky took advantage of Ronan while he was under the influence.

I have a massive soft spot for Kavinsky, even though I know he is a terrible horrible person. The implications that he might have killed his father, that he dreams people into being his servants and playthings, that he supports his mother's drug addiction. He is a sadist, a bully and a possible rapist - these are all the things that should make any one run away screaming NO - and yet. Even Maggie admits to liking him.

If you haven't had a chance to read her pretty lengthy tribute to the dichotomy that is Kavinsky/Lynch in Dream Thieves it is totally worth finding.

(Sorry for the lengthy ramble! I just really love talking about this boy! <3)

(No need to apologise. I think we all get like this with the characters we like. :) )

I find their interactions so intriguing because due to the pills and alcohol there are so many blank spaces in between or parts where Ronan's POV seems unreliable, but after reading Maggie's post you pointed out, I guess it's really a one-sided thing.

Oh, and he definitely is an interesting character and I found the dichotomy between Ronan and him really interesting because on paper they have so many things in common and yet they make such different choices.
