I'll have to think more about this, but it did take me awhile to figure out just what had happened in KoA when Eugenides went to visit the temple, and what the message he received meant. Same with the coin toss, I had to think about it for a bit.
Like Philia, the first time I read Queen I missed all the double meanings of things Attolia said about Gen in the first half of the book.
Each time I read the books I come up with something I didn't notice before. Such as, in QoA at the beginning it says Attolia "knew he wouldn't escape again" and that she wished she'd caught him inside the palace walls. All because Moira had *told* her she'd catch him this time--if she nailed up the boards--outside the palace. So she knew all this, but didn't like that it happened just the way Moira said and that she couldn't catch him without the gods' help.

Or am I making too much of all this?
