The Heretic by Lucas Bale5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() There's a lot of double-crossing going on and characters are trying to figure out what side they're on. I did have a little bit of trouble keeping track of who was on what side and who had betrayed who, but this was apparently the intention. The reader finally gets answers to some of the questions they may have had throughout the series, but many of these answers only spawn new questions. The continuation of Gant's story in particular was something I totally wasn't expecting to see, but thinking back to certain details in the previous books, it seems so obvious and inevitable now. ![]() ![]() Most of my predictions were dead wrong, though - I truly didn't have any idea what was coming. I confess to not being totally shocked by a couple of the aforementioned "vicious twists" because once I actually reached them, I realized everything had been flowing so naturally toward the revelations that I was more satisfied than surprised. Gant and Weaver and Natasha's storylines were all on a collision course. Characters who had previously been lone wolves - so to speak - were suddenly forced to form alliances and trust one another in order to face a common enemy, and I always love when that sort of thing happens. I was a little surprised to find that the book started out by introducing yet another character and story arc with Gant and his band of survivors, but after the way Defiance ended, I could tell this new arc was going to become relevant very quickly. ![]()
