Would love to which chapter you refer!

Nalini had said she intially thought to write only one GH book and not a series.. so I am really curious about this subtle foreshadowing

Ohh, maybe this part wasn't intended to subtly foreshadow Illium's condition but it gave me a better understanding about it (I wasn't using the right word I think). I didn't realize and forgot about this part before.
And it began when I read (I suppose it in book 6, but I need to recheck it out again 🙈)
Dmitri started to concern about what's happening with Illium (view spoiler)[that there's something dark disturbingly growing inside Illium (hide spoiler)].
I still had no idea about what's happening to Illium from what Dmitri said.

And I just remembered I read a line when Elena said (I don't really remember which book it is, maybe 4 or 5 or 6 🙈) about Illium that he is not (view spoiler)[powerful but he is a power (hide spoiler)].

And I finally found about this part in this book ( when Raphael is in (view spoiler)[Quiet (hide spoiler)]. Raphael said (view spoiler)[In the aftermath, he became something far closer to the monster that lurked in his heart, in the hearts of all archangels. Power was a drug and it didn’t only corrupt, it destroyed. (hide spoiler)].

So, maybe I'm still too early to conclude it. But from what I've gathered from all of it is that (please cmiiw) what's happening to Illium is the gradual effect of the (view spoiler)[huge power growing inside him before he becomes an archangel. And the dark growing inside Illium is the effect of the power growing inside him just like any archangels who has so much power inside them (hide spoiler)].

Btw, oohh was it really intended to be a standalone before?? but this first book for me really a solid opening to a long series. It's not like a standalone at all 😮
And even from here, there are quite a few characters and mysteries need to be revealed!

That's what I'm saaaaying. Nalini's series are so well thought out. The hints and details she drops in book 1 that don't come to fruition until way later in the series... 🤯 Amazing.
