Can’t believe I missed this!

I’m reading book 9 for the second time at the moment and was reading book 8 as season 7B was coming out. Not on purpose but it was cool to have the parallel.

I (especially at first) didn’t love the Faith necklace storyline…. HOW DID I MISS THAT IT IS REFERENCED IN BOOK 9!?

I mean I know how I missed it 😅 The books are huge and have so much detail and the scene of Claire noticing ‘faith’ on the locker is a small drop in the bucket in the books I think…

But I hadn’t realised she does actually question ‘no, surely it couldn’t be OUR faith’ in the books! I don’t remember it going anywhere, but it feels less like it’s coming from left field in the show now.

EDIT TO ADD: I think I haven’t made my point totally clear. Watching the locket story line in the show felt so left of centre to me. Obviously the way it plays out in the show is still different to the books, but we knew the show and book had to go different ways at some point as they’re going to have different endings.

My point was that seeing the locket reference in the book makes the show storyline feel just a little bit less crazy. I still don’t love it, but I can see how they got there!
