Lex is her brother, and I found him and Alice (his wife) the most intriguing characters. Although she’s quite an unassuming character – not to say her perspective wasn’t interesting, but her slow discovery meant a slow paced novel. She goes through quite an arc of character development, that’s mostly due to discovering the truth. Her family is very protective of her, so she’s shocked when she started to learn about what really happens in Internment. Her mother seems to be taking a lot of pills, and her father isn’t around much thanks to the murder of Daphne Leander.
Her fiancee, Basil, hasn’t kissed her yet. Morgan is the protagonist, and although she isn’t struggling to face the loss of her brother, she is going through a lot of other dramas. Also Morgan doesn’t struggle to accept his decision, because she too is curious about what life is like outside of Internment, the isolated world in the clouds where thinking about what else could be out there is frowned upon. Morgan didn’t lose her brother, her brother lost his eyesight. The blurb of Perfect Ruin is quite misleading: ‘The loss of her older brother taught Morgan a lesson: he jumped and fell…Morgan resumes as normal a life as possible as she struggles to accept her brother’s decision.’ Morgan’s brother is not dead, as this suggests.
