(view spoiler)[I loved this series to death and I'm so impressed by every single detail coming into play eventually, except for this one: Anomalous made a potion thing that can literally kill you for a couple hours and then you come back, but Damien and Amma didn't even consider using it. Was this intentional because they just absolutely did not want to be separated from each other or was this just a forgotten detail? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Hello! Thank you for letting me know you loved V&V :)
Damien is ultimately skeptical of Anomalous's skill. He trusts him in a friend/loyalty way, knows he's talented, and he takes his advice to heart, but he knows Anomalous messes up *a lot.* Damien is also pretty self absorbed, so what he really wanted was a solution that *he* could carry out (because who better, right?) Also, if Anomalous makes a potion that lets the drinker come back, it's probably not *actual* death, or at least that might be how Damien would reason it. And really, killing Amma, even for a short while, wasn't something Damien ever wanted, and probably not something Amma would have agreed to. (And also, maybe, there's a sliiiiiiight chance that I added that potion for humor's sake and didn't think about the plot-related implications of it existing :D) (hide spoiler)]

I've found a plot-hole or I am missing something. Plan seems to me was to use Damien as vessel, probably since he was a kid taken to the temple. But how did Gilead know he would be there for the eclipse? Form the prophecy, I guess, and later he bet on Delphine. But how did he know where to look for him, after Damien was saved by Amma and Xander? I might have to read p.3 a third time :D All the love, wonderful series.
