the blacksmith helping Laia, the Commander seeing that she opened a seal, or Laia and Elias not actually dying in the endSpoiler
the task where they were forced to kill each other. Of course, this moment was dramatic and well written, but this task didn’t make so much sense to me; why would the academy want to sacrifice so many of their best soldiersSpoiler
the rebels lied Laia, and that the Commander knew the truth about Laia all along. This all doesn’t matter for the fourth test of the Emperor battle were they should kill Laia. Elias is of course not able to do that, but Marcus is, so he becomes the new Emperor and Helena his deputyGraphic: Blood, Child death, Classism, Colonisation, Confinement, Violence, Death, Misogyny, Sexual assault, Slavery, and Torture
