This final chapter of the book centers around explaining the history of the Tristero system. This is explained through a discussion done by Mr. Bortz of The Courier’s Tragedy. The history aspect of this chapter definitely lost my attention; I don’t see intriguing information that could possibly come from learning about the fight for power and money between the brothers. The Tristero system seems to depict a certain form that Oepida could take when gaining control of her new inherited company. Oepida went to Mr. Bortz for answers; simply to understand why Tristero was brought up with The Courier’s Travelers. I feel as though this chapter discusses a bunch of things that make no sense and do not help Oepida find out what she wants to know. The chapter shows frustration with her quest to find answers because once I was done reading, I still had no idea what was going on. The level of unclarity that Oepida must feel is probably just as bad as mine at this point! The final section and final chapter of this book does end with some answers, but does also end in a cliffhanger. We find out that Peirce owned the bookstore where she bought A Couriers Tragedy and this leads her to see that Tristero’s mystery is related to Peirces estate in some way or another. As Oepida is depressed, Genghis continues to research and find information. He lets Oepida know that Peirces stamps will be auctioned off at Lot 49, and she goes there to see who will buy them- yet that was unfortunately left out of the last chapter! I am curious to know who would buy the stamps and what this persons relationship is to Peirce and Oepida. I wonder if Oepida wishes that her life was back to normal, or never got to this point, where it was a wild goose chase to find out more about Peirces Estate instead of living her own life with her husband. I question if she was ever truly in love with her current husband, and she used this journey as a way to separate herself from him.
