They plot to escape and succeeding this, finally get on their way to carrying out the mission Schuyler’s grandfather set out for her. Jack and Schuyler have sought shelter in the European Conclave, but they end up being more like prisoners during their stay, under constant watch and observation. So here’s what actually happens in Misguided Angel: The story carries on immediately from the end of The Van Alen Legacy.

Thirdly, having finished the book within the last five minutes, I can’t recall what this supposedly deadly secret is and I also can’t remember Schuyler having to make a terrible choice. They only get to one gate in this novel and are nowhere near to completing their task by the end of the novel. Secondly, the use of the word ’embark’ is very important because that is literally what Jack and Schuyler do. Of course, what Schuyler has to do is no walk in the park, but it is a slightly hyperbolic opening phrase. Firstly, what is so dark about the Van Alen Legacy? The use of word ‘dark’ implies that it is some sort of evil task which is not the vibe I got from reading the book. The Goodreads one for Misguided Angel, although much better, is a bit misleading in my opinion.
