I guess I still can't buy this whole 'fake' daughter 'real' daughter business that they're trying to sell. Like, obviously we know Cosette is a scammer, but they're presenting it like she's the grand duke's first daughter who is the spirit user, and so that means Kiera is not the spirit user AND also isn't the grand duke's biological daughter. My understanding of the prophecy is that it just said there would only be one spirit user (and that's part of the central mystery since there seems to be two), but I don't remember anything about it saying there would be only one daughter. It seems like it would be so much easier to believe (as a bystander) that Cosette is just the first daughter and Kiera the second, rather than believing that if one is real the other must be fake. I know that the original story needs people to believe Kiera is fake to justify her treason execution, but it just seems like such a stretch. 😖
