Alright so things are starting to get real serious in this book, and it's all turning a corner that I never expected. The obelisks are more significant, but in a different way, than I had first imagined and apparently the fact that Syenite could control one is worrying enough that she needs to die. Also, there's some revelations on how Guardians work which I never guessed, and there's a secret community of orogenes gathering together in one area and hiding out. I have no idea where things go from here!
