@tidemaker That's a really great prediction! I agree with a lot of what you said. Really strong prediction's. With the way the story was heading at the end, I think these things could happen. Like, I think Arin might have a affair with the queen (even though I really, really don't want him to), but it would make sense. He's trying to get over Kestrel, building his alliance with... I-can't-think-of-the-name-at-the-moment people, and getting his people's freedom. But when Arin finds out what Kestrel sacrificed for him, he's goning do anything to get her back for sure. I'm wondering the same thing; how is Marie going to tie in the moth? Will Arin get it and will he finally understand the truth? Or will he, like you said, think it's Rasha? Maybe he'll get it, think it's her, and confront her about it. And when she tells him, it's not her, he'll know it can only be one other person and he'll go in search of her, discovering Kestrel is in the work camps... Omg, I just need the third book already!
