I'd like an explanation for the twins. Are they from somewhere else like The Lady? Were they touched by the Ally in the same way Glaeken was? And who else is there? There couldn't have been just those 3.

I thought the twins were sent (or given powers) because Glaeken lost his connection with the Ally
That being the case - why is RJ only the hier - if the Ally knew it needed the twins - why not empower RJ when the twins died?
Also not sure the Lady is fom somewhere else - I see as am embodiment of the Earth - mother earth as it were - she considers Ally & Otherness as being from elsewhere.
Sure all will become clear in the next few books

Hopefully FPW will give us a few more hints about where the twins came form and what they were suppose to accomplish.
Britfan Wrote:I am aware of the above - I just see some inconsistency between the powers the twins had & why jack is only the heir.
1) Glaeken looses his "powers" - Keep
2) Rasolom comes back - Reborn (unaware of Glaken until Reprisal - which is still to happen)
3) Twins come as Ally no longer has a power here (conspiracies)
4) The twins die, the Ally once again is with out a power here
So why is Jack only the heir, if Glaeken needs to die for the Ally to have a power here, how did the twins exist.
Sorry if this is obvious to others - I just think some confusion about the powers here who represent the ally.
cobalt79 Wrote:Do you think the Ally chose the Twins as the new power, but the ladies wanted Jack as the heir? So the ladies helped Jack rid Earth of the Ally's influence, as if she didn't trust them and their agenda?
Britfan Wrote:Now that is a twist I hadn't consideredNow that you mention it, that would be interesting! Only one thing for us to do.....wait for the next book.
I am sure we will learn more in future
On a different note do you think there will be links with reprisal in the next book?
Maybe Jack's baby burried in a certain graveyard, near a strange grave that no grass ever grows over?
