I liked his patriotism and bravery in facing the terrorism threat. I also loved his growth throughout the story, especially his interaction with Sharon.
Who was your favorite character in the story and why?
I like Steve more. He is a strong character. I like how he humbled the terrorist leader.

Another great aspect of Steve as a favorite characer is how he managed to humble a terrorist leader. His personality really speaks to the patriot in all of us.

This part hook me to read it further, the conspiracy scene is somewhat practical. A good man in the enemy's hand. The escape style of Kim is new to me, I learned on that scenario. :tiphat:

Nepotism wins out for me, as my wife was born with the name Soojin. In the beginning, there was a decent amount of detail involving this covert character, and I was looking forwards to seeing her arc. There were teasing threads alluding to potentially more interactions between her and Steve, but, in the end, it bore little more fruit than Steve wondering if he'd see her again. I'm hoping it somehow builds into something in another story. The threads are there; they just need to be woven into another bit of material.

Hoping for Steve's character will be found again in another novel within this series. It seems that, the story is a bit hanging because of likable characters. The book is quite short for such a good start of a novel.

Yeah, Steve, many times overthrows the main character because of his charismatic actions. His character somewhat attracted to mostly all readers, like you.

Lol, at least you are honest. Good on you for having your wife back even in these situations. All kidding aside I was hoping for different directions where Soojin and Steve are a couple. Some more of forbidden romance and more gray area with the characters.

Exactly! I am hooked to read the book because of him. It seems that sometimes he overthrows the main character.
Oh yeah, definitely. I think Kelly was supposed to be the main character but after Steve showed up, she kind of became a back character. I'd read more books with Steve as the main character lol
I agree that he seemed to run the show after they accepted him.

I liked Steve's bravery and autonomy, and if I am to select my favorite character, he is the one.

I didn't have a favorite character. Overall, I felt that the character development was lacking and I kept finding myself wanting more.

Kelly is my favorite character because of her brave move and for being cautious.

I'm still puzzled why the author's style of writing usually done in this way; the protagonist was overthrown by another supporting characters. I also notice that in Cynthia and Dan, which is Dorothy's other book. Dan became the supporting character of Cynthia and Sky later on.

Her character also makes me nervous, it seems that life only matters for a second. If, they are caught, everything will become worse.
