- Latest Review: E-M-P Honeymoon by Dorothy May Mercer
I think the main characters, Tom & Kelly, seemed to fade into the background and Steve pressed forward as the main character.Letora wrote: ↑27 Dec 2019, 10:20 It seemed like the further along I read into E-M-P Honeymoon, the more characters were introduced. I thought the main characters would be Tom and Kelly, but they seemed to fade into being secondary characters as the story progressed. In fact, I'm not really sure who the main character was because there were too many. I couldn't really attach myself to any one person because there wasn't enough information on any of them. Did you think there were too many characters?

I do admit Steve was my favorite character! his personality was th best out of all of them. I wish we had seen him more often.jeminah28 wrote: ↑29 Dec 2019, 03:43When Steve's character was introduced, I enjoyed his humor and my attention draw to him than in the couple. I notice that Steve's character is quite likable.B Creech wrote: ↑28 Dec 2019, 19:52 There were definitely quite a few characters! Too many? I don't think there were too many; I think the author did not focus on the right ones. The title is "EMP Honeymoon" and it is about Tom and Kelly yet they ended up seeming like secondary characters to me. Seems to me Steve had more of a primary role than the rest, at least until the last few chapters. Good question, thanks!

Totally agree with you on that.

I agree that Tom and Kelly should have been focused on more. It's odd how their names were on the book cover, yet they didn't have a large part.LianaMayhew wrote: ↑15 Jan 2020, 11:58 I don't think there were too many characters, however I do believe that as the main characters, Tom and Kelly should have the focus more.
