Question A

[Jonetta]

Do you think Seth handled Honor appropriately when he severed their relationship? Did he have any alternatives?

[Charlene]

Boy, this is a tough one. The author seems to have set up a big difference between how men and women might respond in such circumstances. Nevertheless, if Hector Clemmons was as bad as implied, I think Seth had little choice but to sever the relationship brutally. (view spoiler)[ Honor admits later in the book she would never have been mature enough to handle the truth without acting as if she knew something (hide spoiler)]

[Jonetta]

His mistake was starting the relationship while undercover. Once he did, I couldn't see many alternatives other than the one he chose. Maybe he could have told her the truth but Honor probably would have tried to help.

[Quynh]

I think Seth did what he thought was best for everyone. He couldn't risk having people he loves getting hurt. It says a lot about his character too that he's willing to make the sacrifice.

[Kris (My Novelesque Life)]

I agree with you, Jonetta. He never should have started this relationship but once he did there wasn't any other way to go.
