Talk:Poll: How many POVs will die in Coup d'Etat

So it seems to be really unclear. Harcourt died and was immediately replaced by Demange. That's obviously not a move to allow HT to shift the story's focus. Not sure what HT felt Demange offered that Harcourt didn't. He's a bit more colorful, so maybe that. Or maybe HT just wanted a change of pace for its own sake. Wouldn't be the first time. Wouldn't even be the first time this series.

Then there's McGill. He's left off in a scene that is very dangerous, but survivable. Guess we won't know what happens to him till next year, and when we make predictions about Two Fronts (You may not have noticed but there were a few scenes in the final chapter which very subtly alluded to the title), whether there's a free POV slot will be an open question. I'm afraid that's about as much suspense as the end of the book offers. Turtle Fan (talk) 00:23, August 6, 2012 (UTC)
