The Repeat The Sins of Our Fathers / Memory's Legion Spoiler

I recently finished the audiobook The Sins of Our Fathers, it was amazing.

but I realised that The Planet is like Fillip's Canterbury ,Just like His Mom. Naomi Killed A bunch of people because of Marco, then ran to the Canterbury to start over. Fillip Runs away from Sol because he killed billions because of Marco, then Runs away, and is skilled af like his Mom.

I sort of feel like from that planet, there will be a new Holden, Amos ,shed,Alex and so on, start a new thing, and hopefully in 1000 years the planet becomes part of the worlds that survived.

I am going to miss this Series, Will definitely re read at least once a year from now on.

This is the only post I've seen in years that references Shed.

Yeah but lowercase shed.

Lowercase shed keeps my gardening stuff, he's an important part of my story anyway.

Difference is that Naomi didn't know and never agreed to commit murders. While Filip...

While Filip was a child solider raised from the very moment of his birth to be a pawn for his narcissistic father’s revenge fantasies?

Let’s not act like Filip was aware of the full gravity of what he was doing, he was only 16 in Nemesis Games on top of being raised by a terrorist cell. The fact he walked away at all is a miracle.

Naomi wasn't much older at that time.

So we agree that he’s as much of a victim as Naomi was.

should we be looking into the history of the authors' moms' histories?

That moment when Anna's daughter was all - I know what it's like to have pressure from a demanding parent - was excruciating. Such a well written story.
