The Ballad of Never After DISCUSSION with SPOILERS
Just finished reading The Ballad of Never After (TBONA) and since it seems about 99% sure it will be at least 2-3 months before we get official confirmation that a book 3 is coming, I thought the 'verse could come together to put pieces together to help glue our hearts back together while we wait.
Edit: I continue to update my post with info.
Evidence for a book 3:
-Evangeline ends TBONA still having a heart tattoo on her wrist--she still owes Jacks a kiss according to their bargain. This is the piece of evidence (besides the cliffhanger nature of TBONA) that makes a book 3 inevitable.
Along with the tattoo, there are questions we don't have answered:
-Has Evangeline found her true love that she's been searching for through both books? (I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that having a guy erase her memory without her consent was probably not her goal when searching for true love that makes her want to fight for it every day.)
-Can Jacks' curse be broken?
-When did Jacks' heart start beating?
-What are the apples for? I can guess they suppress his urges but is that it? And why the colors?
At the end of TBONA, Apollo comes and completely erases Evangeline's memory. How can Apollo, who we've assumed was just another average royal human this whole time, have the ability to erase memories? My theory: I think he's Lysander Valor.
"Dane was some sort of shifter [I think this is Lala's dragon love ], and Lysander had a gift that involved memories." (TBONA Ch. 16, pg 130)
Also, when Evangeline meets with Scarlett and Tella, she asks them if they know anything about Apollo. Both sisters enthusiastically respond in the affirmative, but then they both struggle to remember anything. "Neither sister could remember a thing about Prince Apollo Acadian or his family." (OUABH, Ch. 9, pg. 72)
Here are descriptions for both Apollo and Chaos (Castor) to see if that lines up with them possibly being brothers. I'm also including descriptions of any other Valors.
Apollo: "thick dark brows to his deep-set eyes. His skin was olive. His hair was heavy and dark and cropped closer to better show off his strong features." (OUABH, ch. 14, p. 111)
Chaos/Castor Valor/Handsome Stranger: "Glittering eyes, clean-cut jaw, smooth olive skin, and a smile that made her heart flip." (TBONA, ch. 45, p. 369)
Honora Valor: "The woman's skin was a darker shade of olive, her hair was gleaming silver. " (NBONA, Ch 45, p. 366)
It's my working theory that Apollo (Lysander) is responsible for the memory issues everyone seems to have with stories/history and possibly the story curse itself. He demonstrates strong hatred for Jacks in the closing pages of TBONA which makes me think that the story curse and all the memory wiping was done out of deep jealousy of Jacks. I think both he and Jacks loved Jacks's first love--his first "fox." I think Lysander cursed Jacks with the archer curse to make him hunt the fox (because she loved Jacks and not Lysander). Apollo/Lysander cannot let Jacks be happy, and his goal is to take Evangeline to be the capstone to his plan for revenge.
Will update as I gather more.
