^Uh... no? What did I miss?

And also, I picture this first series ending with Cora hugging Mr Smith, and even though Cora now understands how much Mr Smith actually cared for her, Cora still wants to go with her newly found brother to The Hidden World. Cora says, "I'm sorry" and leaves with the silent Riley who nods at Mr Smith, indicating that Riley promises to keep Cora safe. In the second of the Trilogy, Cora and Mr Smith will probably have an emotional reunion.

And I guess you're right Hana about the ancestors' thing. Maybe the second book can focus on the character's reliving the path of their ancestors, while they themselves are trying to discover their own identity, as a person themselves, not by their genetics.
