(view spoiler)[In sanctuary of wings we are told it becomes clear later why Tom left with Chendly and why Thu stayed with Suhail. I'm not sure I missed something, but what was the reason? (hide spoiler)]

This answer contains spoilers…
(view spoiler)[It comes up during her conversation with Thu: he was worried that it would look like he'd lured Isabella to her death. And he couldn't really count on Chendley to stick up for him, not the way Tom or Suhail would; but Suhail wouldn't leave, and he shouldn't be left alone either, while Chendley had to go report back (and benefited from having someone with him, rather than traveling by himself). If Tom stayed with Suhail and Thu went with Chendley, Thu risked being arrested or some such; therefore, the only feasible configuration was Thu staying with Suhail and Tom going with Chendley.
Complicated, I know! And at least half because I wanted to stage the reunion with Tom separately, but it didn't make sense for them to abandon Suhail all winter with nothing but his grief for company. (hide spoiler)]

I loved loved loved the entire Lady Trent world. Audrey was a spitfire and an amazing addition to Lady Trent's story. I also read your short fiction "The Long Fall." So what do you think? Do Audrey and Aaron get together after all, years in the future? He's still at the Sanctuary 10 years after the Audrey's book, with the newly updated text. Is it enough of an olive branch for them to get a chance as older adults?
