[quote=@Feisty-Pants] Yeah. Something similar to that I reckon. I'm sure many wives won't be happy with their situation and would escape as quickly as they could. Since fighting back is obviously not an option. [/quote] Quite the contrary, I think. I believe that's the problem with trying to fit Brink's character into the storyline because from what I read, the Gem brides are the only thing standing in the way of the total annihilation of their home. They have no choice but to try and convince their husbands that an invasion is a bad idea. If they don't... Well, I suppose that remains to be seen!
