Headscratchers / The Crown & the Flame

• When Kenna convinces Annelyse to supply her entire army with the Golden Mountain Fangs, wouldn’t she also be equipped with it (if she haven’t picked it in the fight)? As the leader of the army, she should get one of their weapons, and Annelyse is certainly nice enough to spare one for her.
• Trystan would betray Dom by snitching on him to Bartel about his plans to sabotage the cannon, aiming to protect his sister Rose and himself from being killed by Dom’s plans . Since Trystan knows Rose is probably going to accompany Dom, wouldn’t he be worried about her being caught along with him?
  • Trystan might have negotiated a deal with Bartel/Helene to spare Rose if they catch her along with Dom. Maybe he told them Rose was going to distract Dom for them.
• In the last book, why would Luther attempt to assassinate Kenna at the end? He has nothing to gain for her death and everything to lose.
  • Diavolos did imply that Luther WANTED Kenna to kill him.
    • Why? What did he have to die for?
    • It's likely he believed that Second Place Is for Losers and that he'd rather go down in history as the Defiant to the End guy who tried to assassinate Kenna rather than the one who had to bow down to her for good after she defeated him (as he viewed the situation).
• During the third-to-last chapter of Book 2, how did Rowan have the time to tell Kenna about her meeting with Zenobia while drowning or fighting her?
