I agree with you. It was so unlike Aquila and Perseus to help Rion let alone sacrifice themselves. Came as a shocker to me.review-specialist wrote: ↑09 Sep 2021, 16:44 Yes, I felt like the sudden change of bad to good guys was too much and this gave the impression of rushing to end the book. This was just so unrealistic of Aquila and Perseus's character.

That's all a strategy to get them by their side and when their close enough they stab them at the back, easy and short. But if indeed their genuine, which I doubt, then I don't know. So to me it's not a force or a change of character. I feel like they're just pretending. I just don't know why. But we'll find out their real intentions in book two.ej_author wrote: ↑01 Sep 2021, 16:54 At the end of the book, I was surprised when Aquila and Perseus sacrificed themselves to Psyriin in order to let Rion and the others escape the school. Considering that they had just been trying to murder Rion minutes before, and throughout the book they had hardly been anything but hostile, it seemed really odd to me that they would suddenly be so self-sacrificial, even if they did just get beaten in a fight. Knowing for sure that Auriga died didn't seem like a powerful enough motive for Aquila and Perseus to do a complete one-eighty. Did their change of heart at the end of the book feel forced, or in character?
