I think this is one of those cases of not minding the main characters dying, since they were pretty good deaths. I hate it when killing off characters becomes a cop-out because the author's written themselves into a corner and this is the easy way out. But Leech and Seven's demises were sort of in the cards for a while. It was just a matter of when. After all, Leech was already hurt, and Paul had been trying to kill him all the way through the book. It still surprised me, though. I didn't think they'd be able to continue on without Leech. But then, Owen seems to have some mysterious ability to hook into the others' abilities and skulls. More on that in the next book? Time will tell.
I was right about Lily getting jealous of Seven- Chloe? I was kind of expecting her to be gone for good when she told Owen she was leaving. But her showing up again in the middle of the big fight scene, announcing that she was the real Medium? Wow! Big shocker. Seven seemed pretty sure that she was the goddess/Atlantean savior who completed the trio. I think I had a little inkling of her death, though, when she took the drugs on the beach with Owen. The scene started to reveal just how out of control she really was, behind the adoring goddess facade Victoria built around her.
Speaking of Victoria, I wonder what she was going to do if her little plan to kill the Atlanteans failed, and Paul had a secret backup plan to find the Paintbrush. He seems like the type to have prepared something in the event that something happens to Owen and the gang en route.
