"When she emerged, Keith was watching the tiny round window of the under-the-counter washing machine.
"Put your clothes in for a wash," he said. "They were disgusting."
Ginny always thought that the only way of getting clothes clean was by drowning them in scalding water and then whipping them around in a violent centrifugal motion that caused the entire washing machine to vibrate and the floor to shake. You beat them clean. You made them suffer. This machine used about half a cup of water and was about as violent as a toaster, plus it stopped every few minutes, as if it were exhausted from the effort of turning itself.

Although I felt there was some sadness assosiated in the end and even though in every book there was a different POV (and it might be confusing sometimes because u need to remind yourself who is talking and thinking right now) you got to know every character (well at least 5) pretty close.

I had a bitter taste regarding Ethan after finishing the books. He was this sweet boy, who was suffering his hole life from the effects of what happened to his family, especially to his sister. And despite all this he had such strenght and confidence at what he was doing. His loyalty to the guard never seemed to fade no matter what.
Sadly I felt his character kinda got lost in "The key" I didn't mind reading from Matts and Rochelles POV but I would have loved to lern more about Ethan. It was such a cruel ending for him finding and loosing Rochelle at the same time. Also he was the only one left (except Dillon) not having the gift beeing immortal(less) "
