Tunnels Review (Part 7/8)

These chapters are insane; absolutely insane. So much happens in these chapters in the span of only 50 or so pages. Do I have a problem with that? Yes. I feel like since the beginning of my last review it has just been an information dump. In 6 (extremely short) chapters, they rip us away for the sinfully underdeveloped underground world of the Colony, as they try to break Chester out of prison, fail, fit in ANOTHER Shyamalan-styled twist, and then have Will and Cal go topsoil. I mean, 6 CHAPTERS. That all happens in a shorter amount of time then it took for Will and Chester to...dig a hole in gruelling detail. Are you getting my point here? This book is so out of nowhere, so lazily paced, that I find it almost fatiguing reading it because it feels like watching Mad Max: Fury Road (without interesting characters or insanely awesome practical effects).
      So, about that twist. During the escape attempt, Will, Cal, Chester, and Bartleby (this odd cat creature the size of a Doberman) are holed up trying to open up a gateway that leads into a abandoned city that was killed off by a plague years ago. A bunch of Styx file into the room, and out of nowhere Rebecca walks into the room, wearing Styx clothing, humming; turns out that all along that she was placed into the family at a extremely young age, where she has been monitoring Will since the beginning.
      I think that this twist misses the mark because of one thing: the fact that we have had chapters from Rebecca's perspective. Throughout the book we have had flashes to Rebecca, with a view into her mind and what she is doing. And yet, there is never even a hint to the fact that she may be evil. A good twist in the plot is supposed to have hints throughout the rest of the story pointing towards it. With the twist that Will is from the Colony, it is already established that he was adopted, that he has a lack of pigment (as do Colonists), and he had a natural inclination to dig even before his father became interested in digging and tunnels.
      After all of this, Chester gets captured in the escape process (fail, am I right?), with the other 3 going topsoil, and going back to Will's old house for a rest and to get new clothes.
