So why is Shatterbird the one who’s presumably taken an interest in Hookwolf?
Could Shatterbird be a changer, able to turn into a bird and to have one of the most literal cape names we’ve seen in the story?
Or maybe she’s not after Hookwolf after all. I do suppose Cricket wouldn’t be a bad addition to the Slaughterhouse Nine.
But no, I’ve been predicting Hookwolf’s nomination ever since the nomination plot was revealed (though at this point it’s beginning to look like none of the nominations are going to actually work out except Bitch), and there’s got to be a reason he’s the POV, rather than Cricket.
