One good deed does not undo years of cruelty. And the whole alternative sentence of helping to kill primals fits the story really well, people with the echo and combat abilities to face primals are vary rare so it makes sense to keep her around and have her keep fighting for the 'good guys.' A long term redemption has a huge advantage in being convincing and making me care so we'll have to see where she goes in the future. Whatever her motives s

Gaius...I have to be honest the whole thing with his kids felt incredibly forced. Like they were really reaching to find a way to make him more sympathetic so they decided 'so he has this group of au ra orphans....that have never been spoken of or hinted at before and now we're going to kill them one by one isn't that so sad for him?' Gaius realizing he and the Empire had been maniuplated and joining the fight against the Ascians felt like it made sense. I liked where things were going in that direction as 'shadowhunter' or whatever.
