Totally agree with you, 201 years old and she still ascting like a younger person. The characters needs to be more detailed.

It's possible that she was 201 years old but was naive because she really hadn't interacted with humans. All she did before was just kill them.

I agree with you. Even to me, 201 seemed like more of a stretch. Plus her actions have me the naive tendencies that just didn't match.

I also found it ironic for someone who has been around for such a long time to be that naive.

It was shocking to believe that Cecilia was 201 because of her behaviour. Although she was in hell for most of that time, it was jarring to see how little she knew about earth.

Guys, it's just a fiction book. The majority of stuff written in fiction books are hard to believe, this is just one of them. Yes, she seems too young for her age, but maybe this is just a way for her to play pretend so that others will believe her story.

I totally agree with you. I can't imagine Cecilia to be a 201-year-old woman. I also find it hard to believe that she falls in love with Sebastian that quickly. Anyways, maybe it's one of the ways that the author used to make her book unique from others with the same concept.

She should have been more mature to be believable

I believe she was simply cosseted. Lucifer didn't want her to know any of those details. He desired that she concentrate on killing and loathing. Which would you opt for if you did know how much enjoyable wonderful things might be?
