Why this must be read: One of my favorites, because it touches on the dirty wrong bad! Alyse gives us a lovely glimpse of Renfro (I adored Nan’s portrayal of Renfro). Where Alec is a ‘good soldier’ of ordinary look at life at Manticore before Max is recaptured. Not exactly a pwp, but IMO it is hot, sad! and very wrong. Layered character insights to Alec and Renfro. Loved Alec’s voice, of being a good soldier, a lovely read.
Renfro is not predictable but even she has patterns. To date, she has waited days, sometimes weeks, before she swoops in to punish a transgression, and 494 has the training and the insight to be able to determine her methodology. She waits until her target believes that they are safe, that they have, in the vernacular, 'gotten away with it'. And then - only then - does she strike.
She has never waited more than twenty-six days, and on that occasion the transgressor had been off site for the previous five.
494 reviews the last twenty-eight days precisely because Renfro is unpredictable, but, again, he is not stupid enough to believe that it will be enough. He has an understanding of religion from their lessons - enough to understand how it can be manipulated - and Renfro is, effectively, their God. Punitive, capricious and capable of great, disinterested evil.
She owns them, both figuratively and literally.
The concept would amuse her, he suspects. In a way, she encapsulates Manticore in all of its foetid glory, and he would never question her.
He hates her a little. But only a little, because he can't stand out.
