Even though I loved this character, I have to admit that you are definitely right about her being immature and jealous! Of course, it reminds me of the many Greek and Roman dieties who were often described as huge, immature jerks—Loki, the myschievous troublemaker, stands out among the rest! I think what's cool about a lot of the gods and goddesses of mythology is that they were a reflection of humanity—complicated, emotional, and very human! While you didn't love her as much as I did, I do love that you have your own unique outlook on things! Thanks for sharing your thoughts...Dana Youngblood wrote: ↑24 Sep 2023, 18:01 I liked Nina's character. She is a teenager going through a hard time but seemed mature and willing to work on herself. She was confused a lot in the beginning, but that is understandable when she is given so much information that she doesn't know what to do with. However, I was not the biggest fan of Nimue. I felt she was immature and got jealous a lot. Luckily, she did not take it out on anyone, but she didn't seem to have much control over herself and her feelings. I felt that she was meant to be a strong, powerful Goddess that was going to be good for humanity, but I could not believe that was true. Nimue went through a lot and learned a lot in a short book, but she just did not grow on me the way I had hoped. I think Nimue needed a little more of Nina's characteristics in her.

That is a really great way to look at it. I think I had it in my head that she was a goddess and should not act like we do. However, you are right, they are a reflection of humans. Thinking that way does soften my opinion of her a little bit. I should have made that connection between Nina and Nimue being one and the same without thinking of Nimue as only the powerful goddess. Thank you for your response!

I have to agree with this - when I read that part of the book I was just so surprised. She's doing this in a foreign country too! I felt that Nina was very emotional and jealous. There were some parts to Nina/Nimue that I found very relatable but also other parts that didn't seem as realistic.sujetin wrote: ↑18 Sep 2023, 18:03 While I was reading, and I think it was in the first third of the book, I found myself screaming: "Didn't your mother ever tell you to never get into a stranger's car?!".
It took me 10 to 15 pages to get over that and really focus back into the story. I liked the rest of the story, but I can't say Nimue was my favorite character.
