Seriously, if you've been following along with the books in this world, I'm sure you've questioned multiple times how Lincoln is even able to keep up with all of this world building, plot mapping, and overlapping storylines within this massively complicated group of characters. I don't know how she does it, but I applaud her for doing such a phenomenal job with it. There's always so much going on, and what I've learned from reading the books in this world is that If you think you've figured everything out, that is a lie. There is ALWAYS something else at play, moves being made, and things yet to be revealed. Some things are never as they seem or some can be so blatantly obvious that you question yourself on whether it was too easy to figure out and immediately go off on a tangent to figure out another possible option to what is going on. It's never a dull moment while reading these books and they will for sure keep you on your toes.
One thing I like to think about while reading these books is: is it fate or is it Artemis up to her games again? I swear, this woman should be some type of trickster god with the way she manipulates people to get the outcome she desires. She started this game of chess and is winning, but she isn't just moving the chess pieces around. She's the creator of the game and people are just now beginning to realize it. Her and Alan have some explaining to do because there is a lot more going on than we have found out so far. Little by little pieces are being given to us to try and understand the complexity of their plans and every decision they have made in advance to put everyone on the correct path that they need to be on. Some routes aren't easy, but that's tough love for you.
After meeting Cerberus in Vanessa's story, I was very excited to see if the trio would get a story of their own. I wasn't expecting to get their story so soon and was quite surprised to see Kendall be at the center of it. When thinking of Kendall, I wasn't sure how I would feel when it was time for her to get her own story because of how stand off and devoid of emotions she was. However, I was amazed at how the triplets were able to crack open her hard shell. We saw a real, genuine side to Kendall in this book underneath her well kept facade. It was nice to see that there was more to her character and a reason for the way she was besides the small glimpses we got in Sabina and Vanessa's books.
