Hmmm, that's an interesting thought...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!!)

Made her much more relatable and realistic!gilliansisley wrote: ↑25 Feb 2020, 21:01I agree with this. Dauma was a badass, that's for sure. And her lack of control added a bit of dimension to her character.

Just one more thing done TO Adam to make the reader more sympathetic to him?gilliansisley wrote: ↑25 Feb 2020, 21:04That's a good point. There was a chance for Adam to develop as a character, and that opportunity was essentially stolen from him.Howlan wrote: ↑11 Feb 2020, 09:19Yes, when finally Adam came to his senses and thought that he needs to deal properly with his father, he was killed off. The author wasted a huge subplot to carelessly killing Adam's father.Nym182 wrote: ↑07 Feb 2020, 13:55
I also felt that his death/character was treated very harshly... Especially considering he wasn't involved with the bond between Jo and Adam... That really could have made him feel left out, (which Adams distaste for him didn't help) which could have lead to his cheating... (obviously I am not condoning what he did) I just kinda felt his character was created just for adam to hate and that's it... his character could have been developed a bit more... I think it would have been interesting if Adam had a decent relationship with him That would have caused more turmoil within adam after finding out that he cheating on his mom. Instead, his cheating just proved Adam right.

I guess? Look, over there, an opportunity for Adam to not accept responsibility for his actions or role in something? GREAT! Quickly, where's my victim card!?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, 21:04That's a good point.

Yes, Dauma may have guessed that before but kept up her hope in the beginning.

From 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.
