“They will think that Anita is hunting them as the Mother of All Darkness did,” Echo said. “She killed anyone who had her powers,” I said. “Yes,” Echo said, “but she missed you until it was too late.” “She was right to fear other necromancers,” Fortune said.
The Mother of all Darkness didn’t “miss” Anita until it was too late. She found her a LONG time before it was “too late.” First, Mother Dearest wanted to “control” her by making Anita her human servant. When that didn’t work, she decided she would use Anita as her personal shell/skin/body to possess. I feel like LKH forgets key points in her own books all too often. :(
