I think both Quicksilver and Matteo knew the memory loss would be a non-starter for Darrow and Sevro. I believed Cassius would inherit the figment because he basically had no status, family, or friends left besides Darrow, but I guess the figment was just one of the things that Pierce decided to throw away when he was re-writing this book.

As for my thoughts - I loved this book so much. I thought it was awesome from beginning to end and the action included in it was excellently written. When the Big 3 emerged from the leviathan, the Battle of Phobos, when Darrow found his flow vs. Volsung, and when Lysander fought Rhone - all captivating as hell.

Biggest questions I have / can't wait to find out:

1. Who is Virginia's "contact" that Kavax alluded to? If it is the Abomination, it could explain how Sevro got free and if he's not under some mind control.

2. Will Atalantia learn that Lysander actually killed Atlas? Will Bellona's mom find out he also killed Cassius?

3. How will the psychospikes make a return?

4. This weapon that Lysander possesses, would it kill Pax since he's both red and gold?

5. Can't wait for the rematch of Darrow vs. Apollonious.

fricking great book IMO. It's in my top 3 of the series with Golden Son and Dark Age.

This is the only thing that adds up since Mustang made mention it would make him upset or some such.

Not sure on Atalantia, but I’m willing to bet Cassius mom gets word of what happened to her son

3. How will the psychospikes make a return?

Curious if this is one of those things Brown just wrote off, but maybe they do?

Was curious if he unleashed on one color if it would just make him I’ll versus killing him like a cold or something since his DNA is different. Although I believe Darrows DNA was altered so maybe unleashing on gold would kill Pax.
