I agree! So it was weird how her story ended there. Maybe it will be revisited in the second book. Can anyone who's read it confirm this?Kishor Rao wrote: ↑24 Apr 2020, 01:32 I think terry is also a descendant and had something to do with Iksha. So far, Adam has only been attracted to women with strong Descendant cores or serum injected. Terry might be one of them

Not only that, but I felt his behavior couldn't be explained by the Descendent traits, like his feelings towards his mom were. At the beginning there were two reasons why I really disliked Adam - his feelings towards his mom, and Terry. Dauma told him he was attracted to his mom because of the youth serum, but there didn't seem to be an explanation for Terry. Adam's actions when it came to Terry went completely unexplained and unresolved.Howlan wrote: ↑03 Feb 2020, 05:04Yes, I feel that you can not just walkway after hiding an innocent dead body and live life as if it was just another pebble on the road.

Would you classify this as a plot hole? Anyone read the other books? Maybe as Adam's character changes his views on his past deeds does also?vagrimes wrote: ↑02 May 2020, 11:46Not only that, but I felt his behavior couldn't be explained by the Descendent traits, like his feelings towards his mom were.

That's a good point. If Terry is addressed in the next book then I'm more okay with the way it was glossed over in Opaque, but something about the way Carly acknowledged what he did but never brought it up with Adam made me think that was how the issue was "concluded."S1234 wrote: ↑02 May 2020, 13:38Would you classify this as a plot hole?

Yeah. I hope there's more to it. It had me thinking how exactly they would handle Terry's death? If in the second book it turns out he was being controlled by his evil twin or something, then they would bring him to justice. This was kind of hinted in the scene, when he glances at his reflection which starts laughing a him.vagrimes wrote: ↑03 May 2020, 08:46That's a good point.

Ahh! Exactly. And that is so out of character for her! I'm so confused! She comes off as having strong morals and independence, yet she doesn't exactly have a strong reaction to Terry or the Den or the Mommy Obsession! Burning the Den down isn't that strong of a reaction. Pretending like nothing happened after she burned it down isn't a strong reaction. Pretending nothing is wrong at dinner or after dinner at Adam's house is a very weak reaction. Where is the huge fight!? I feel like I'm missing something or I really misread her character.B Creech wrote: ↑02 Feb 2020, 11:19Exactly!

Neither of them mentioned it to each other, and neither of them seemed to have a conscience about it. If I were Carly, I would want to know exactly how my boyfriend had been involved instead of just ignoring it. I agree about the parents never getting closure. It was like Terry didn't matter so why mention her anymore!

I know what you mean about Carly's character! I want to get a chance to read the next book and see if it will clear anything from this one up! I hope it does!jdsatosk wrote: ↑18 May 2020, 22:12Ahh!
