Kelly's role
“We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.”

Yes, I absolutely thought she would be the romantic interest, though I don't think that actually evolved. I think she fulfilled the other two roles as well.holsam_87 wrote: ↑24 Aug 2018, 10:53 What were your thoughts on Kelly's role? Did you think she was going to be a romantic interest? A turning point for Sliver to remind him of his humanity? Or was she just a tool for the author to teach his audience about what has happened in the world through the newspaper articles?

Hey. I have to say that I agree with you. I liked how Kelly was introduced by the author. I also agree that her part in the story fell short.Farmgurl1 wrote: ↑30 Aug 2018, 11:19 I definitely thought Kelly would be a love interest for Sliver in the story. I was actually very disappointed in her role in the book. I thought the author introduced Kelly in a unique way, and then her contribution to the story fell short. I think she did help Sliver's character with some self-awareness though, so that added some depth to the story.

This is also true. I would have preferred if Kelly was able to live and perhaps be in the sequel of the book if it will be there. However, everything in a book or any work has a purpose. Her death meant something else. Maybe things would not have ended the way they did if she had not died.kvlegaux wrote: ↑30 Aug 2018, 12:24Hey. I have to say that I agree with you.

I agree. I thought she was set up to be an integral part of the story, but then even her death fell a bit flat.Farmgurl1 wrote: ↑30 Aug 2018, 11:19 I definitely thought Kelly would be a love interest for Sliver in the story.

It was sad that, in the end, she actually didn't make that much of a difference.

I thought that if she HAD become a love interest, it would have been a bit disappointing. It was the easy way out of this particular story to pair the two of them together. Instead, I think their relationship grew beyond romance. It was refreshing.WendyNorth wrote: ↑30 Aug 2018, 16:19 I felt Kelly's role was to spark a bit of humanity in Sliver. I'm actually relieved that she didn't become a love interest, as there wasn't enough character development to really want to connect the two other than what transpired between them. I do consider the idea that she might have just been there for the sake of presenting the news articles, but that could have been done differently.
