Main character in the Twisted Ones. She left that story as ignorant as she started. I know little about the twisted ones. Why can you get pregnant with a rock? What is the other half, since the children still seem cobbled together? Is it a ritual? What's the source of this power, and what's the purpose of it? Just seems like a bunch of bones and a lady, why go through this? How come Conrad alludes to being extremely old and no one cares or investigates who or what he is? Conrad said he crossed the sea to get to the current location, so how are all these paths connected? Are there portals everywhere? What triggers the shift, or is it one central location? Why was the grandma able to keep them back? What happened to the green book, and if it was so important that Conrad was trying to write it from memory, what was supposed to be in that book? Why did Conrad become one of those things and how does that even work? How do you keep memories when you change forms? WHY DIDN'T SHE BRING ANYTHING TO THE FINAL FIGHT EXPECT THE DAMN DOG!?
It jsut feels like she went to clean up the house, crazy stuff happened, and she just left. Didn't really seemed like she changed or was affected.
