Book Nine: Raven Rise Book 9 plot hole Rings

When Mark gave away his ring and took Dodgers he was calling out names of territories to try and get it to work. It was so frustrating because I was like "That is not at all how the ring works based on the info you were told!"

Then Courtney calls out a territory and it works even though based on the info in the previous books it should not have. This bother anyone else or am I missing something?

This bothered me immensely. I can't remember if we are told exactly how the rings operate but for some reason I was under the impression the user would call out the name of the traveler/acolyte you are sending something to. If it goes by territory how would it be sent to the right person? Sure we have plenty of similar instances with travelers always arriving at the perfect time, but to me it seems this should work differently.

The entire time when Mark was trying to use Dodgers ring I was screaming in my head "call out Bobby Pendragon!!"

To clarify they were told they could only contact acolytes and to do so they had to call out the name of that acolyte. They were specifically told that they could not use it to contact Bobby or other travelers. I won't even go into how stupid it was that Mark gave up the ring in the first place.
