How is Kira's opinion about Jamison changing?

Kira first meets Jamison while she is on trial for her life. She must decide whether to defend herself or allow an appointed defender to manage her case. She doubts whether someone who doesn't know her can adequately represent her, but she agrees to let him be her defender. Even after he wins the case for her and spares her life, she is somewhat suspicious of him.

However, as he continues to come to her...

Kira first meets Jamison while she is on trial for her life. She must decide whether to defend herself or allow an appointed defender to manage her case. She doubts whether someone who doesn't know her can adequately represent her, but she agrees to let him be her defender. Even after he wins the case for her and spares her life, she is somewhat suspicious of him.

However, as he continues to come to her room and check in on her, always with kindness and helpfulness, she begins to trust him more. She wonders whether she should ask him about Annabella's assertion that beasts don't exist in the forest, and at first she lets the question remain unasked. However, she later trusts him enough to ask him about it, and he tells her that it's dangerous for Annabella to say such things, asserting that he has seen beasts himself. Annabella dies shortly after that, but Kira doesn't make the connection to Jamison. When she finds Jo locked in her room, and when she learns that Thomas's and Jo's parents have both died under questionable circumstances, she begins to realize that she is not really free, even though her door is unlocked. However, she remains relatively loyal to Jamison--even when she sees that the Singer's feet are chained and bloody. She even assures her father that Jamison will make a place for him in the community. Her father informs her that it was Jamison who attacked him and left him to die.

Despite learning the truth about Jamison and the guardians, Kira decides to stay in her village rather than leave with her father. Armed with the truth, and with her blue threads of hope, she believes she can overcome Jamison's regime and create a better future for herself and her people.
