I feel like at this point when Alecto is announced I won’t even need to check the tags or anything to figure it out, I’ll just feel it in the ground. Like a dog sensing an earthquake.

When reading the Locked Tomb books as an adult, there’s an added tragedy in recognizing how young all of them are. The idea of setting up a bunch of young people to become Lyctors, powerful but stuck permanently at the age one dies and the other eats them is so cruel.

It might not seem that way to readers in their late teens and and early twenties, but when you live long enough you start to realize you have so much more potential to change and grow. The Fourth are the most obvious examples of this as they’re like 14, but the saddest losses in my eyes are Palamedes and Camilla because within the story, they’re the slightly older, slightly more mature ones. Gideon and Harrow treat them as very competent peers. Nona sees the two of them as trustworthy adults. But they’re only like 21.

I remember being 21 and feeling like such an adult. But I got to live long enough to understand that no, the 28 year old girl who proclaimed that at 21 I was just a baby was right. And John is a bastard for encouraging all those young people to unwittingly die and stagnate themselves so early.

Even Abigail and Magnus. When Harrow laments what Abigail could have continued to do if she hadn’t been murdered, to me that’s one of the core themes if lyctorhood
