True, she matured emotionally but was this the the same in her constant danger self-placed position?

She constantly placed herself in unnecessarily dangerous situations by not think ing about her actions as a counterintelligence expert.

I found interesting selections such as Juliette, and this made me appreciate the different approaches readers take rowards characters in the book.

Do you mean flaws or personality conflicts?
The characterization defers soo much from the qualifications and career path Cynthia chooses.

Sky Eastman had that creepy vibe from the start of the book and for me, trusting him never came into consideration.

Even though you didn't find many characters likable in this book, Glenn is an excellent selection for favourite character.

Cynthia as a character had many flaws, but she was central to the entire plot and I can understand why she would be the favourite character for anyone to choose.

I liked Glenn the best. He cared about his sister, would pick on her like a real brother would, but still worked with her. He seemed the most realistic to me.

I too liked the character of Cynthia as her role in the novel was so filled with twist and turns and it occupied a major space in the book.

I liked Glenn too but as with other characters, I feel there could be some more development.

I can't understand why everybody hates Cynthia so much. She is not my favorite character and far from being perfect but I liked her. My favorite character is probably Glenn.
Heart! We will forget him!
You an I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.

When you have done, pray tell me
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you're lagging.
I may remember him!

I don’t think it would be Cynthia or Sky- maybe Glenn.

I admire and like the nerd squad for their sincere effort which made plan successful. The character of sky seemed flawed because his actions were not so pleasing and looked like impostor.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

The most influential character for me was Glenn. He appeared to be quite selfless and ready to help his sister overcome all the difficulties she encounters.

Cynthia was my favorite character. She was well put-together and was dedicated to her work. I also felt like she had to be the most honest character, true to how her character was introduced in the beginning. I for sure had a least favorite character. Sky. I just didn't like his introduction to the story -- cocky, seemed rude to women. Then, I just carried a dislike for him.
