Blog #3: Write your opinion to a character action or reaction. What would you have done instead?
At the end of the book A decides to leave Rhiannon with the last body he/she inhabits and moves somewhere else. He/she tells Rhiannon that since he/she cannot be there for her, she should have someone who can. This must have been very difficult decision for A and I agree with him for the most part. It was Rhiannon's reaction that surprised me the most. If it were me I would have had a lot more emotion and wouldn't have let him go that easily. I mean, this is the person you love we're talking about, isn't it? I would have been begging on my knees saying please don't go. And then when she decided to sleep in A/Alexander's bed so that Alexander will wake up with her there. I mean Rhiannon does not know this guy. And it's not like A hasn't been wrong before, this guy could be a complete weirdo. If I was in her shoes and A left me I would be pretty devastated. I get why A let Rhiannon fall asleep with him/her but I would find it really creepy to wake up next to someone I didn't fall asleep next to. Even if I knew it was coming. All in all, I thought it was a poor reaction on Rhiannon's part and that she should learn how to express her feelings. (Even though she's a fictional character.)
