2023 books a darker shade of magic by v.e. schwab (reread)
Magic was a living thing---that, everyone knew---but to Kell it felt like more, like a friend, like family. It was, after all, a part of him (much more than it was a part of most) and he couldn't help feeling like it knew what he was saying, what he was feeling, not only when he summoned it, but always, in every heartbeat and every breath. He was, after all, Antari.

When Kell Maresh said, "Why am I the only one in this fucking world to be held accountable for my actions?" I felt that.

I’m rereading ADSOM, and I forgot how much I love Kell. I love all the characters, but I think Kell might be my favorite. He acts like he’s the grumpiest guy in the world, and yet he is constantly the one who goes out of his way to show kindness. I just love him so much, and every time I read this series I’m reminded of that.

I love Holland's faith in Kell being good, and how he uses it to push through with his not every good plans. Like in A Darker Shade of Magic when he knew that Kell would come back to save Lila even through how much she protested that he didn't care about her. Or in A Gathering of Shadows, when he hears from Ojka that Kell ran away, Holland is confident that he will come back because he always does. This is a great antagonist/protagonist relationship if I've ever seen one.
Not really the same but I really like the detail of how when Ojka asks him who the collar is for, Holland says "an old friend."
