Questions about October #17

[mellicious]

This is a list I made while I was reading Sleep No More. I kept noticing little things that didn't match up - and we knew the second book was coming, so I started making a list. I thought I had thrown this away but I found it again and I thought it was sort of interesting, now that I've read both books.

The "gap" list (questions after reading October #17) - But some spoilers here for 18, so beware!

• The broken window - I assumed this would turn out to be Tybalt or somebody and of course it was
• Why are there purebloods (Dame Altair etc.) out robbing people? To me that part is really odd.
• A couple of different characters said somebody had made potions for them, and I kept assuming that must be Walther, but no, apparently it was Simon. So, what, Walther is back in Silences being a princess? - it's mentioned in passing that he's making potions for Silences. Unclear about whether they're cool with his current gender.
• I loved the bit about how Titania mourned for the Merrow. (Not hardly.)
• I guessed that the Queen of the Mists here was the same one it used to be, the crazy one - I usually call her NQ in my notes, for Nameless Queen. But the story they tell about her background is a little different in the alt-universe - she's now "born of a distaff line" rather than just being passed off as Gilad's daughter. I guess somebody learned from past mistakes!
• How did August and Simon get to Golden Shores? - with Tybalt & Gin, apparently
• It's supposed to be a "family secret" that Amy & co. can take all the fae out of a person (right? that's the part that's controversial?) so why does Etienne know? DrunkSylvester told him? - yep!
  
• it's just really hard sometimes to sort out what out of all this is just false memories and what is true!
• re Luna: one of her parents is Maeve's child (dad) and one is Titania's (mom) so I guess maybe that's why Luna is such a raging bitch without the kitsune skin to calm her down
• We see Eira asleep, but "Eira" is also at Goldengreen, so that one must be Cass or Karen, I would think. Come to think of it, maybe that's why Simon now thinks Eira is "wonderful."
• October sees Blind Michael as being flickery, which is what Garm says illusions look like - I wonder if Toby is developing a talent for that, now!
