I like that they were, at least, able to seamlessly add the Maidens to the story. Before they told us the truth, none of us would've been able to tell that the Maidens weren't planned from the start like everything else.

I also actually kind of like that they added the Maidens. Cinder became even more of a threat because she stole immense power that made her a dangerous villain, and Pyrrha's whole inner-conflict storyline made it a lot more meaningful that she went to face Cinder. We know that they always planned for Pyrrha to die. At least this way, there was a deeper meaning to why she fought Cinder. Maybe she felt that, if she had made up her mind sooner rather than at the last minute, things wouldn't have turned out so bad because she would've had the other half of the Fall Maiden power, rather than Cinder getting it. Without the Maiden plot, what would we have had if she was still killed by Cinder? Pyrrha just happening to be there and deciding to fight Cinder because "I'm gonna be a hero."
