Will Maggie and Kai work out the problems they’ll face (assuming, of course, that they both survive to face them, and can I just say that I really did NOT see the Kai twist coming at all!)? I honestly don’t know, and getting those answers will depend on whether or not I pick up the next book… It’s darker than I was expecting, and while the revelation about Kai’s own manipulative actions perhaps don’t seem as bad as the rest, it still struck a bad chord for me.
But the grim truth of how abusive Neizghani (die in a fire, Sparky) turned out to be, and how manipulative Coyote really was being where Maggie was concerned, were reveals I was not ready for. To be fair, given the character setup that was done for Coyote and for Neizghani, it isn’t terribly surprising now that I’ve time to consider it all. Are you happy with where she has ended up? How do you feel the various (predominantly men’s) attempts to influence her? Do you think she/Kai have a chance at a future together / do you want them to work it out?Īs I said, I’m not entirely satisfied by this ending. Maggie has gone on a hell of a journey since we first met her. I am sure, however, that Neizghani can die in a fire, come back to life, be kicked in the nads and die in a bigger fire. It’s kind of a lot to take, and even now I’m still not sure I enjoyed this result.
I had high hopes for the relationships she seemed to be building, and this ending seems to have torn all of them to pieces. The same goes for Kai, though to a lesser extent, relatively speaking. This is the part that didn’t surprise me, at least not entirely… I knew that Coyote was going to turn out to have some hand in the problems Maggie was trying to solve, but I wasn’t ready for the reveal of just how much of a hand he’d had in making sure she would be able to do what he wanted. To absolutely nobody’s surprise, Coyote is a Trickster and Kai has been keeping secrets. Let’s discuss Trail of Lightning (spoilers for the final chapters). In the final part of Trail of Lightning, I had some suspicions confirmed – but I also had some nasty surprises to deal with…
