Well, this is a 1st. for me... I feel compelled to write this review based not on the story i read so far but on the actual reviews posted. I do not mean 2 offend when i say in reply to some comments. #1 Spend less time doing your math homework//proving how clever you are by talking about odds calculation accuracy #2 Spend your time learning that human character-behaviour, (unlike odds), is not easy to define or quantify. Character is formed//behaviour is determined by nature vs. nurture, life experience, environmental influence, personal propensity to act & react (according to innate traits). You do not need a rule-book or psych. degree. As humans we are constantly evolving, learning, changing & adapting. Be patient, read story to the end. Only then will you come to understand MC. That is the beauty of the story. Character development & growth, not fancy maths. But that is just me. As i said no offence, just give the story more time. Also, how we act does not always equate how we feel. Complex characters need time & space to grow. As do we. Let us support Author's hard work and encourage through honest, respectful words of assessment//opinion. I am not an expert in any field, just a simple reader. Please excuse my rant. Wish you all a happy & safe read during covid times & beyond.
