I liked this one slightly better than the other two. But I’m still going to say the same things.
Character. Development. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE.
Giving them one trait doesn’t seem enough. Bennett is a fix-it and Kira is a failure. Fine. That’s cool. But add layers.
And also flesh them out by having the characters view things differently. Like Jeanie describes him as a fix it. But it would’ve made it so much better if all characters didn’t view themselves and each other in the exact same words. Jeanie could have seen it instead of Ben and he could actually develop as a character by denying it before eventually l seeing it himself and working towards not being like that.
