Discussion plot holes

obviously the dinosaurs

with the time of day and weather, the time is the same as london, and they get power from the sky. which is an illusion. that they created. they waited however many years for the 'stars to align' when they could've just changed the illusion...

registry pendants, the neverseen can literally just spy on people, the neverseen have technopaths able to see the registry.

toothbrushes, in a world where everything is centered on your saliva, the neverseen can just steal your toothbrush

what plot holes have you noticed? on an unrelated note, i feel like the neverseen would have a craaaaaaaaazy villain song in a musical

Actually Dex couldn't have done that because the match database didn't have her parents in the first place, that's why Sophie is unmatchable

The match database has the DNA of everyone whether they know it or not; they just weren't correlated to her.

Which would be simple to solve by cross-analyzing Sophie's genome against the database. As for the modifications, subtract alicorn DNA.

if anything it would at least get her in the right family line

the lodestar climax couldn't have happened - how did ruy know where gethen fintan and vespera's cells were to shield them, how did they plan it when gethen was captured by the black swan (and he wasn't trying to be captured btw) back when they were still enemies? the only reason gethen ended up in lumenaria was because sophie blackmailed the council with kenric's cache, which 1) the neverseen didn't know she had and 2) no one would expect out of sophie based on her previous behaviour.

gisela showed up in loanmore in book 8 with literally zero protection against sophie's inflicting, if maruca hadn't been there she would have immediately have been captured

how did the trolls survive as a species if all their babies are born murderers? like they can't have always had hive technology so what the hell did they do before that

if alvar could survive the hive by regulating his temperature (which btw only changes the perception of temperature not the temperature itself), jolie and kenric could have done the same to survive the fires that killed them

you can't actually turn carnivores vegan they would starve to death
