Rowan and Beth
The similarities between this two characters are quite obvious and questionable. Do you think these similarities are merely a work of coincidence?

Based on the topic's paragraph, the writer probably meant Galen and Beth. Galen is portrayed as very naive in the first book even though he has grown up in a war-torn land. I think Beth gives the impression of being naive in book 1 since she is new to Cosmos.raluca_mihaila wrote: ↑15 Oct 2020, 07:23 I don't think that Beth is that naive, and neither is Rowan. They have life experience and they don't make their choice lightly. They have a reason for choosing a side.
I don't see a reason for them choosing what side they are on beyond who they happened to meet first. Perhaps this changes in later books, though. I'm only on the second book.

What I meant by choosing the side is that, besides the first meet, there was something else involved. I mean Beth felt that she could trust Meldorath even if she had no other proof. So she consciously chose a side.Krista Ash wrote: ↑16 Oct 2020, 15:27Based on the topic's paragraph, the writer probably meant Galen and Beth.

Galen is a refugee who wanted to escape from the horrors of his homeland but Beth has come from caromentis as a curious soul out of sheer curiosity.

I got the impression that Beth was also trying to escape from someone in Caromentis. In the chapter introducing her, she describes taking a round-about way to coming to the physical world. Perhaps the rest of the series will make this more clear, though.
