I know what I'm about to say will sound really picky but...

Chapter 1 - She is supposed to be the determined and fearless one. She wouldn't give up on saving the world.

Chapter 3 - After restoring her faith in saving the catalysts, you lose a relationship point if you ask Quinn if she's seen any sign of the others - she's usually the logical, sensible, one, and she could've thought "Maybe they're under the deck, or in the market, or in a rowboat, or they were forced to seperate."

Chapter 4 - If you promise to avenge Zahra, Estela disagrees, saying that the ghost could have information about the island - 1. In Book 2, Chapter 11, if you get between her and Lila, she says she's had enough talking, and is not willing to listen to Lila's information. 2. After she found out what Lila did, she expected the catalysts to bring her to justice, but now expects them to be friends with the ghost, despite killing Zahra, who was closer to the other catalysts than Estela's mother. 3. If you say we need to focus, you say that we can avenge Zahra after surviving, to which Estela agrees - this contradicts her being against vengeance on Vaanu.

Chapter 5 - If you tell the group that the Endless being the MC isn't their concern, she will say "Shouldn't we decide what we need to know?", which mirrors what the MC said to her in Book 1, Chapter 2, and she said "We've all got secrets" - she should therefore respect the MC's right to keep secrets as well. Especially since how hard seeing your friends die 2,139 times must be, and the fact that she's kept FAR more secrets from the MC (at least in Books 1 and 2).

Chapter 6 - She'll agree that Grace and Varryn should be saved before the Island's Heart, but she is usually the one who agrees in sacrifice (Ximaedra in Book 2 and Yvonne in Book 3), and as the sensible one who believes they need to stay focused on the mission, should not prioritise two people (however awesome characters they are) over one half of the ONE thing that could save the world.

Chapter 11 - If you lose the tough choice with Jake, she'll slap him and tell him he sbouldn't grieve Mike. I know she's the abrasive character, but I always played it off as 'She's tough, reserved etc.' - but this, for me, was a new low. Jake has lost Mike twice, both times to save Jake, he was Jake's only friend, and she isn't sympathetic.

Chapter 12 - She prioritises Endless' ending over Rourke's ending, which contradicts her original vow in Chapter 1 to fix the world.

Also, she says to Rourke that her family doesn't tolerate hyprocrites, despite the points I raised in Chapters 4, 5, 6 and 12.

I agree that the diamond scenes with her was nice, and it gave her character more depth... but she went from tough to insensitive, and I don't know... I know I'm being picky, but I just don't like her personality in Book 3 as much as I did in Books 1 and 2 - she was more reserved, but less abrasive, which I prefered
