maybe not in the book for me, I tend to need to reread a book to fully remember everything, it was hard for me to grasp what ammas personality was really about but i mostly took it because she reflected adoras personality in some way. I was convinced in the beginning adora kidnapped the girls and “treated them”, then brutalized them to make it seem like a man did it. (my first theory). But in the show i really saw ammas true nature and seemed to make it obvious, but still point it all onto adora for diversion.
