Fia’s emotional extremes verge on tiresome without quite crossing the line.
The sisters’ alternating narration helps to modulate the tension, balancing Fia’s jittery, violent persona with Annie’s focused, levelheaded one. Always the more stable of the sisters, Annie’s equally determined to protect the vulnerable, including Fia, a task complicated by romantic entanglements and the choices they entail. Meanwhile, Annie can’t enjoy the freedom for which her sister sacrificed herself, not when her own visions point to a calamitous future. Without her sister to rely on, Fia grows increasingly dependent on James, who’s got issues of his own.
Fia’s freed her sister, Annie, from the sinister Keane organization but at a high price: severing contact between them to maintain the fiction that Annie’s dead ( Mind Games, 2013).Ĭompeting demands and desires further rend Fia’s tattered psyche: recruiting girls with paranormal abilities to be shaped by the Keane School while plotting its destruction and protecting the vulnerable-especially Annie, who’s blind.
