The following quote is from two fellow Lockwood readers on goodreads named Jess and Mitali and AgCI.
Thought I'd share it with other fellow Lock readers:
"As for Lockwood....I've got to be honest, as much as I want Lucy to get some relief for this massive oppressive crush she has, I think he's gonna die. There is this line in the first ten pages ("It's how i want to remember him, the way he was that night," on pg. 6 ) And then we have that Fetch at the end. I don't think Lockwood will die in the way that the Fetch portrayed, but I feel like that line more than anything makes me suspect that the Fetch was not off target. Which sucks. Maybe Lucy needs to be free of Lockwood to really come into her own as a person, but I wish she could do that without what I suspect is his inevitable death."
" As far as the ghost outbreak in The Hollow Boy is concerned, however, I think the obvious culprit is (spoiler alert) Steve Rotwell. There's definitely something sinister about him - Lucy is pretty disturbed by how he kills the attacker on the float, for example. In the end Rotwell agents turn up in the underground room where the skeletons were found, and clear up everything before anyone else can investigate (except George, who manages to get there first), and no one is even sure who sent them. I think it's clear that Steve Rotwell was conducting some sort of experiments there on his own that went out of hand, or maybe deliberately setting ghosts loose in order to get more business for his agency. The attack in the parade was most likely an attempt to murder Penelope Fittes - since the Fittes agency is one of the two biggest agencies, the other being the Rotwell agency - Steve Rotwell probably wanted to get rid of his biggest rival. Lockwood & Co. foiled the assassination attempt, so Steve Rotwell had to kill the murderers (at least the one that he could get his hands on) so that they wouldn't be able to say who hired them."
"i'm really more curious about the Orpheus Society (The former could just be part of the latter). If the name is any clue to why there's a ghost infestation. The real orpheus tried to bring back his dead wife from the underworld and so far there's been 2 bone glasses which as we know is a sort of passageway that connects the spirit and the mortal world so...i'm guessing that the organization is connected to the original outbreak and it could've been just a more massive version of what happened in Hollow Boy or i could just be talking nonsense.The fetch could've just been a scare tactic for all we know though its kinda hard to find optimism about the "page 6 line". I don't know maybe they'd get seriously estranged at the end so Lucy can no longer see Lockwood. [Its still sad (and lame) ugh..but i really don't want it to end like the Bartimaeus series "
