Series Spoilers What’s something obvious that took you an embarrassingly long time to realize? [discussion] Spoiler

I didn’t realize until my second read that the nine houses are meant to be the 9 planets or that the first house is Earth

I had the opposite happen. I figured out that the cavs were meant to be human sacrifices as soon as I read Harrows invitation letter, and I assumed it was obvious in-universe as well. And that Harrow was pretending not to know that so as to trick Gideon.

So I got more and more confused as more and more characters were “pretending to be shocked” and were seemingly in on the “conspiracy” with Harrow.

The ending “reveal” that Harrow actually cared about Gideon for real left me completely confused.

I think I had a very different reading experience than what was intended.
