I know I got the recommendation for this book here (ufcasey ?) and now that I'm reading the second one, I'm remember that I had an unanswered question from the first.
How did Lilac survive after they destroyed the rift? I thought it was the rift and The Others that were keeping her energy alive and with them gone, she would no longer exist? They made mention of the fact that the tests that they were running on her came back abnormal, but they never really discussed it. Since the other books focus on different sets of characters, do we find these things out later?
It's entirely possible since I was listening on audio that I got distracted when they were explaining these parts, so I apologize if there was a totally obvious conclusion that I missed!
It was me It's been a little over a year since I listened to the audiobook, but from my recollection when he shoved her through the rift it saved her life and also freed the beings trapped in the rift.
