Thank you for the answer Ms. Thomas. What I loved about Melek is that I found she took to the moral ambiguity of her situation in the story with almost gleeful abandon, like a shark to water. She may crush one of her victims underfoot without a single shred of remorse one moment as seen in The Ciragan Palace Kempinski, but then be pragmatic and benevolent as she was in Clutching At Snakes . She's that rare noble demon, the player who does harsh, nasty things whenever she feels its warranted but, possesses the honor to be above the sort of pettiness that the other opposition Penny goes up against stoop towards. And seeing where Melek would end up on the morality scale as she finds herself pulling out the stops to tie up loose ends in her own way was a blast.
Also, , was the chapter 45 title a shout out to the motto of the CIA? John 8:32. If it was, I compliment you on the beautiful thematic tie in to the title of your book (listened to your explanation on the Turkish proverb in question) itself, and the events that happen in it. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free indeed! ;)
Thank you! Yes, it was indeed - well spotted. ;)
