Lockwood: “You’re keeping secrets again, and any agent who does that is endangering the rest of us. I’m not having anyone on my team who can’t be trusted.”

Also Lockwood: *doesn’t tell them his suspicions about Fairfax, doesn’t tell them he went undercover, doesn’t tell them he called DEPRAC for backup, doesn’t tell them he planned to smuggle in flairs, etc etc etc*

Okay I *had* made the connection between Ophelia drowning and the monks dying in a well, right? And then Lucy almost throwing herself in the well before Lockwood pulls her back. Despair and hopelessness and *drowning*, specifically. Surely I realized that right???

I should read Narnia after this, then I’d have read three stories with Lucy protagonists. I wonder how many more there are?

Lucy Carlyle, Empath.

I’m already 30% through. I love short books. (Also I’m highlighting in yellow every time Lucy mentions Lockwood’s smile) (for no reason in particular)
