Hahahaha! Majid Azari and the silver-eyed man are on the ropes now! I don’t know.....I still think the silver-eyed man may be a super. The silver eyes are screaming “telekinesis” or some kind of mind manipulation......but then again, he could just be a normal guy who was born or built differently. And I’ve been wrong a lot before, so there’s also that. Having Sapphire get completely wrecked without even being touched would hurt.....wonder how she’d get out of that one. So Majid Azari’s going to make himself scarce for a while, and the silver-eyed man is going to try and recruit Mantis and (I’m assuming) Olivia Lockheed to their cause to further their plans, made more evident by the fact that Mantis (and Nassar) escaped the WarTech facility. So many bad guys met their end here, but so many more also went up. We effectively traded Devlin, Chappelle, Gregor, Roy Valik, and Vernon Clark for Majid Azari, the silver-eyed man, Mantis, Nassar, and Olivia Lockheed. I’d probably bank on Azari going first while the silver-eyed man is more patient.
Okay, so at least Sapphire didn’t feel AS apathetic towards Valik’s death as I initially thought she did, which makes me feel a little bit better. Then again.....that may just be because of his potential use rather than him as an actual person. He was genuinely intelligent, and made great strides in finding out what Sapphire’s powers were all about. And then before she can learn anything, what did everyone else do?
ZAAAAAAAAAP----BOOM! Valik head ‘asplode.
I would’ve liked for him to have just been knocked unconscious by the blast, taken into custody, and have him rotting in jail with Sapphire briefly visiting him and interrogating him about what he found regarding her abilities. But I guess, like with John’s death, it just wasn’t meant to be.
And, ahhh......I was not expecting for Mark Devlin and Senator Chappelle to go down that easily, quite frankly. I thought that it was going to be on the same scale as the previous novel’s final battle. But Mark Devlin and Senator Chappelle are more business-type people than actual fighters; they’re not on the scale of, say, Mantis or Gregor. Devlin just went down with one punch and the Senator just went down with one kick.....and I felt like I personally got punched by the final battle’s, uhhh.....“length”. Then again, I understand that not everything can be too high-stakes; we already had the extensive sequence of Valik torturing Sapphire and Gregor.....ALSO torturing Sapphire (albeit in completely different ways and for completely different reasons), but I’m hoping that the first half of this chapter sets up more intense situations to come, with all of these other villains coming to the forefront.
One more chapter to go! It’s been an amazing ride once again! I’m legit driven to finish this series just to know what happens to Azari and the silver-eyed man. Also to see Olivia Lockheed get what’s coming to her. xD
