Weston manages to take crazy, complicated tensions between the myriad of characters and keep them all in balance - all while unveiling secrets and ramping up mysteries. Revelations gain momentum and seeds of doubt snowball into serious life-changing doubts and realisations. Now Shimmer really starts to crack open the whole Rephaim history and it's not just Gaby's world that has been rocked but all the Rephaim's, outcast and Sanctuary alike. Shadows opened with Gaby discovering the mystery of her past, and Haze hinted that those secrets were tangled in something far, far greater than just Gaby's immediate world. I am also loving revisiting old Sanctuary memories - like Gaby and Rafa's adrenalin junky motorbike days <3 I also loved finding out more about past-Gaby (Gabe) from her Sanctuary friends - and it's nice to see so much of it is better than she was hoping for. She's loyal and cares deeply and you can feel her fragile edges under it all and I just want everything to work out okay for her.
She's fierce despite her exhaustion, brave despite her fears and relentless in standing up to face so much opposition on all sides. I love how much Gaby has grown as a character over the series and she really comes into her own in this instalment. Decade old tensions are coupled with immediate danger, torn loyalties, serious shock and high emotions. Shimmer takes us back to the Garrison where Gaby was once held as prisoner, but this time she's more sure of herself. Shimmer starts minutes after where Haze left off - and things are straight-up intense and complicated when the outcasts and the Sanctuary Rephaim are reunited.
