Light And Shadow Discussion

I got nervous just about every time she felt that irritation from her broken wing and just brushed it off as something to handle later. It actually took me a while to realize that she never pulled out her wings once after waking up on the beech. Something felt very wrong when arriving in the other realm and she couldn't feel her wings at all. Thinking on her wings for a bit, I'd remembered that she'd been called a seraph on a few occasions, which makes sense given the burning light, except for one small problem: she only had 2 wings. If she truly was a seraph, she would almost certainly get 4 more later on.

The Spark started out as a cool way to have a faux-sun in the demonic world, but alarm bells instantly started going off the moment it was called "Lucifer's Kiss." Light provided by the Lightbringer himself in a world where his daughter felt disconnected from the Light. I knew It had to be important in some way, but I thought it would be something like be healed by its gaze, or more epically diving in entirely. I did not catch that the sphere she was dreaming of being trapped in was the Spark itself until the very end. Amariel herself was the Spark itself the entire time! Her already being so well adapted the first time we see her was confusing since how could she go that long with nothing happening? Because she sealed her own power within the Spark to seek stability from all the chaos on Earth.

All that and the other details leading up to that awesome (in both senses of the word) finale was incredible.

On a more minor note, bravo for using hereditary epilepsy as foreshadowing. I had to go all the way back to Into the Light to see that Jenna had experienced seizures, and that her brother had incinerated himself with his own powers. After seeing what he does here, the burnout seems like it was also caused by a seizure that got amplified by his speed, rather than actual fire manipulation.
