Glad to see you already picked it up. I read it in “one sitting” over the a couple of months at a slow job. The start was painful, but added really good context to her character.

I cant speak to a Coil like villain that isn’t Coil in the books, but if you are were I think you are, there are many “cold blooded and amazing actions by an anti-hero, villain or hero with a plan” instances left in the book, many of them major plot points.

I cant say anymore without major spoilers, but if the above is your criteria, the books have some pleasant surprises for you if you finish them.
