Lille has already had a proper demonstration of his power, I think, so I don't mind him being dead, but I hope Gerard and Pernida are still alive. Killing them off without showing how their powers work, and without even showing Pernida's face, is far too much of a rush in the story.

I wouldn't mind another set of Sternritters, or at least another round of Sternritters for the letters that were killed during the first invasion. There's already barely anyone left at all.
