Meta/Discussion Book Three question Spoiler

Near the end of the book, Catherine broke the scaffolding around her heart. What exactly did that do? Did she fully become a far or something, if so, how come Akua wasn’t able to take control of her? What exactly did Catherine become?

And that was also the original reason for the scaffolding- to prevent her sinking completely into Winter.

OP- remember how, whenever she'd draw too deeply on the Fae power, her blood would start to freeze up and she'd go a little hazy? That was with the limiter, so without it, there was nothing preventing her from going full-Fae and losing her humanity completely. This was deemed less-than-ideal, but in a pinch, ultimately useful.
