  1. I just finished reading a book with a person who had developed three personalities and one of them was a murderer but the other personalities were very different. Made for a really unique villain.

  2. Very interesting post. Like you I struggled with the definition of odd. Jezzlyn and six personalities definitely is odd and I like the premise that as she searches for former crew mates she's also searching for herself.

  3. Wow! Now those are two truly "odd" characters! Her with her multiple personalities, and him with his alpha-ambition, that makes him think that he can do "safe" amounts of a dangerous drug, and be unaffected. What a bizarre world they must inhabit! But then, authors can devise any kind of world they want to, right? Hurray!

  4. I sometime have trouble keeping track of one character, let alone one with six personalities!

  5. I have worked with people who had multiple personalities. In real humans here in the present, this is invariably due to a very young child being in a continuing intolerable situation. Some children are intelligent and creative enough to "become" someone who leaves during the torture (often sexual), leaving a specialised part of the personality behind. This works so well that more personalities are created to fill various special roles. I've read a middle-aged cult survivor write that her alters could fill a jumbo jet.

  6. Wow. A character with six different personalities is certainly odd. I felt sorry for Jezlynn as she seemed to be a pawn Morgan used for his own devices. This sounds like an exciting series (?) with lots of action and plenty of odd characters. But we like them, don't we?
