This is a good line, but keeping in mind what we said earlier about the literal monsters in this world, this isn't exactly true. When we later get to know Nick's father a little more, we learn that he isn't entirely human. Does that make him less dangerous? Or does it make him more dangerous?

This sentence feels like foreshadowing. We doubt Nick would care if his dad died, but he would be devastated if anything happened to his mother. She's fine in this book, but we wonder what her fate looks like in the rest of the series.

We're not sure what these problems are that Kyrian has. Sometimes monsters try to kill him, but monsters try to kill Nick, too, and it's a lot harder to deal with monsters when you're poor. Kyrian, at least, can afford better weapons.

What was that Kyrian was saying about problems? His new problems are very easy to solve, simply by throwing money at them. Maybe we'll find out more about Kyrian's tough life in the later books of the series.

We're not sure what Kyrian means here. What happened to him? Why is it too late? Does this have to do with immortality, and dying to achieve it? Perhaps he was able to see how his parents grieved for him after his own "death." That would be difficult to witness.

Kyrian is different not only because he's a supernatural creature of sorts, but also because he's crazy rich. Going to his house means that Nick is out of his comfort some in more ways than one.
