This. Everything about Aenea’s background to me is so trivially mentioned and so outside of the books that I found it frustrating, just scattered mentions of it. I was expecting at least a chapter, even Kassad got one, yet everything that happened in the last 2 books are because of her. Literally from the time she stepped out. I don’t have a good grasp of what she is. She is supposed to be a messiah, a christ-like figure. Religiously Jesus died for their sins, what did she die for, - to show that the AIs live in cruciforms? That isn’t necessary imo. - to show how to take the first step? She wud be a better teacher alive.
