I agree with this. Dauma was a badass, that's for sure. And her lack of control added a bit of dimension to her character.

which is a huge missed opportunity on the authors part. Developing Mark could have added a whole new level of depth to the story.Howlan wrote: ↑26 Feb 2020, 14:46But Adam didnt dwell on him for long. He had no huge character developments at all.Nym182 wrote: ↑26 Feb 2020, 11:47Just one more thing done TO Adam to make the reader more sympathetic to him?gilliansisley wrote: ↑25 Feb 2020, 21:04
That's a good point. There was a chance for Adam to develop as a character, and that opportunity was essentially stolen from him.

Yeah, and it kinda felt like the author just kinda wanted to get rid of him.

Which family are we talking about?Nym182 wrote: ↑27 Feb 2020, 10:43I would think so as I assume he's part of the Wit family.Howlan wrote: ↑26 Feb 2020, 14:42From what we know Adam's father does not have any powers but who knows? The author could add a twist.kdstrack wrote: ↑25 Feb 2020, 12:24 It was actually Jocelyn (Eastman's) comment about the author "taking the easy way out," that made me consider this possibility. After all, most of the characters seem to have some kind of power. Jo was "given" a special ability. Is there something we don't know - yet - about Adam's father?? (Thank you Jocelyn for that insight!!)

A great example of how you totally sideline a character.

If by cards you include JoAnn and Adam you are right on the money!

Yes, true, whether Dauma could have done better or not is not clear but she is not the one to let innocent people be killed.
