Characters
Deep into the story, I noticed that each character is starting to change which i know they will continue to change. Reynie is a better leader, he answered most of the small riddles leading to each clue, and keeps his friends focused. Before they left for the ship, they were accompanied by Constance, Mr. Benedict's adopted  3 year old daughter that detects patterns and use it to predict the future. She also helps with her bravery and stubbornness. Sticky and Kate don't exactly change but Sticky remembers everything word by word and is starting to become less nervous and more comfortable with himself and friends. Kate uses her unique strength, speed, agility, and endurance to help the group. They sort of remind me of the Fantastic Four because they each have their own talents and help save the day.
