The problem is that when I try to summarize a chapter, I try to write it in a way that is interesting yet accurate to the chapter itself, which unfortunately can lead to spoiling the entire thing, as you have shown me. For some reason or another I want there to be some continuity to these summaries, so that people reading them won't go "What?" when the summary makes the next plot twist look like it came out of nowhere, when in the chapter itself the twist makes perfect sense.

But I shouldn't do that. The point of a summary is to detail the basic points, not show every single little plot point. It ideally should have enough to interest the reader, but not tell him everything, so that way he will have to read the story itself to get it all. Here, for this chapter at least, it seems like I have failed in that regard.

So essentially, I have no excuse except I am terrible at writing concise and interesting chapter summaries . However, I'll try my best to make the next summary less spoilerific, so people reading this blog will have to read the chapter itself to get the whole thing, even if it makes the chapter sound less-than-complete or whatever.

Thanks for pointing that out, though. I wasn't sure if anyone had noticed that flaw of mine besides myself.
