Oh noooooo I don’t even want to know what the fanon takes on Cath are, do I. I haven’t been brave enough to touch the fandom at all yet, though I’ve been thinking more than is healthy about Eddie/literally any female character. Very rude that in a show full of lesbians, my favourite lady had to be straight. >:(

You are right about both the found family and the body sharing, and they are major MAJOR elements. But going by the title, I’m assuming Alecto will be a lot more soul-of-planet-horror-focused, so hopefully it’s worth just skimming a wiki summary of Nona and holding out for the next book?
