Temporus- Thanks for confirming about Nick. it bothered me reading.
Yuillegan- Thanks for the info on spoilers.
1- I guess I expected that Marci would also know about Bob, but it could be that he's need to know.
2- I was wondering about Lara's true intentions, too. I kind of believe her and kind of don't. I thought it was possible that Justine was lying about the baby (if infected). If not, it will be interesting.
4- Ivy did take on the Denarians and was doing pretty well until Dresden came into the picture. I don't know. It just felt weird that she suddenly wasn't there. I don't know if she would intervene because she's supposed to be neutral but . . .
5- Yes, they did set that up, didn't they? I wonder what Butters will do.
Dresden11 - Yes, I wondered about that, too. It seemed like a disconnect, but maybe it's one of the ways to figure out if a child will have abilities early on. Maybe not all kids get it. So many questions. As for the Starborn thing, I was surprised they even addressed it at all (finally). That part seemed kind of out of character to the rest of the book so I wondered if that was the part added to make a separate book. I still don't know why the outsiders attached when they did.
DarthSpot- Ooooh. That's also a very interesting idea. It would shake things up. The treachery aspect wouldn't be there (unless someone lied that he died), but maybe he's the connection between the Feds and Justine. I'll have to think on that one more.
