![]() ![]() Orion had already been established as being on par with El as far as killing mals, and we had previously never seen anything get close to harming him except those walls of mortal flame. Her realizing it a few chapters later kind of felt redundant when it was spelled out pretty clearly beforehand, and I think Novik should have leaned harder into making the audience believe it was Orion’s mom who was secretly the rogue maleficer if she wanted us not to realize until El did that she was the one behind the destruction.Īlso, I’m pretty sure no one thought that Orion was dead before the first trip to the Scholomance, so it was not as dramatic as it could have been when it was revealed he was alive. I’m not usually one to guess the twist ahead of time, but after the reveal that enclaves are built on maw-mouths, it was really obvious what El’s prophecy actually meant. ![]() ![]() The first thing is that I wish there had been a little more misdirection about the major reveals. I liked this book, but there are some things in it that probably shouldn’t have made it through editing. ![]()
