Character Analysis
We first meet Sasha, a member of the child rebellion, in the Underworld. He's a human, but he has special "portal-sensing abilities" (55.17) that help him find his way around. Lying comes easily to him, which comes in handy when he needs to help Whit and Wisty escape a pack of flesh-eating shadow creatures. His lying is also a liability, though. To convince Whit and Wisty to help with a prison raid, Sasha tells them their parents have been captured by the New Order. This isn't true, though, and Whit and Wisty aren't too happy about it. Tsk, tsk.
