Now I'm really curious! Is Leech going to be able to see well enough to navigate them to the Paintbrush Of The Gods? He doesn't seem to be in such great shape anyway, what with the cryo sickness thing. I'm absolutely dying to know why Owen's mother has suddenly made a reappearance after walking out on him. Is she going to go with them on the trip? That could be seriously awkward. And I don't trust Victoria at all. Her world outlook is a little too much leaning to the side of twisted and manipulative for me to believe she could ever really have anyone else's best interests at heart, especially the Three from the Atlantean Epic legends that keep her in power and her people happy. Or maybe I'm reading her wrong, and she's just as practical as she has to be to survive in this post global warming world, where the weak don't last long without the money to pay for coddling. She did make a fairly convincing argument for the girl's sacrifice- she wanted to die, there were no drugs or medical treatment available, and it kept the citizens of the city satisfied that the gods were being placated. However, Seven's opinions about her methods and motivations are definitely food for thought, and should be taken into consideration.
Despite the attitude, I find myself liking Seven's personality. Tough, snarky, and a born survivor, no matter what her ultimate goals turn out to be- and I'm still not sure whether she's out from under Victoria's thumb.
