So many plot twists! I had a feeling that (view spoiler)[ Jem was going to become a Silent brother (hide spoiler)] but still, it wasn't very good feeling. I certainly didn't expect him to (view spoiler)[ become mortal again in the 21th century (hide spoiler)] But otherwise, this book was (for me) the best from this series. Best surprise for me was Aloysus Starkweather's disovery about Adele.
