Yeah, the wikia contributor is probably right. I doubt they'd give us a reunion in the preview chapters, they'll want to give us some cliff hangers so we will deffo buy the book.

It will probably switch to another POV where Octavian is going barmy and everyone is trying to calm people down before they start hacking everyone to death.
