Zach sucks!
he was by far the worst part of the first book, and it became a chore to read the chapters where he was the focus.
but in the first book this was mitigated by the fact that he was only really in 1/3 of the book with the other 2/3s focusing on ryun but this book swaps that so it’s now 1/3 ryun and 2/3s zach!
