Jennifer's grief
For me, it just came about in random areas when she would suddenly remember him and think about him. I don't think this is wrong as grief can come in waves. I just expected to see it talked about more since she left her team to grieve.

I think this was realistic. When I lost my grandmother I did not really go through a mourning period. I would also remember her at random moments and feel her loss.Christina O Phillips wrote: ↑05 Dec 2017, 11:22 We see at the beginning that Jennifer Hero is grieving the last of Zexton and that is the reason why she chooses to abandon her team. How did you feel about the portrayal of her grief?

Yes! You will, indeed!

That's a bit how I felt too. Also, hadn't he died like 5 years ago? I get people can grieve for a long time, but 5 years is a long time to still be so heartbroken that you have to leave your own century to escape it.CaitlinGonya wrote: ↑12 Dec 2017, 07:22 In the pages I read I didn't even get the overwhelming feeling of grief. It was more like, "he died." Like a statement and that was it

The grief is only ever told to us is the problem, especially at the beginning. A lot's happening in that first chapter, and her grief is kinda just thrown on top of the pile. I think the author was in a rush to get Jennifer out of the 30th century, and I don't know why. We would've felt the shock of traveling back in time much more if we'd felt what "home" was for her.Vivian Paschal wrote: ↑07 Feb 2018, 11:37 Leaving her team pointed out that she had a lot to grieve about. But I don't think the grief was emphasised well enough to show that it was deep enough to force her to leave the team.
