Re: (Least) Favourite Character
On the other side, my least favorite character is Midius Madio. He is so slimy. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself. He wants all the gains and glory. He goes behind the kings back all the time. I don’t like him at all. I am hoping he meets an early end. But he probably won’t, because even though he is gross, he adds to the story.

YES!!! This is EXACTLY how I felt about Rowan. He started out okay but seemed to become progressively more and more like a modern day teenager. He used stupid words like "hiney" and just didn't fit into the narrative. I also hated how he immediately began pushing Galen to be more than a regular blacksmith. I mean, Galen doesn't even know how to be a blacksmith yet!! Let him figure that out and then see about helping him to be more.Mstrtim wrote: ↑03 Oct 2020, 11:48 His dialogue and comments were more in line with a young man living in today's society rather than in this alternative world, goofing around with comments about masturbation and metrosexuals. He came across as totally false and clashed with the rest of the story and I would hope he meets with the same fate as Lord Eldus in further installments of the story.
So yes, I hated Rowan. I didn't even mind Maido because at least he fit with the narrative. Rowan just felt so out of place.

I'm with you on this, and I believe it speaks to the author's ability to give life to his characters in a way that makes them relatable, for better or worse. Now, that's a skilled writer.Josephe-Anne wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 08:42 Right of the bat, I despised Chancellor Midius Maido. He was described as being nosy, insincere, and lecherous. I couldn't stand the way he used his power and position to coerce and take advantage of others. I'm sure his character was written that way on purpose.

I hate that guy more than any other charecter in this series. I could cut him into a thousand pieces and throw him into the depths of Tartarus. I hate everything about him, how he abuses his power, relishes making problems and not valuing anything that has to be valued. But what made me really hate him was not letting Eldus know about the attack the Riva Rohavi were planning on hillport. It could have saved numerous lives and including Eldus and his family. And even that wasn't enough for him, he had to make king Wilhelm doubt Eldus's loyalty.

My least favorite (again, by first book's standards) is Galen, who carries the typical "protagonist vessel" character traits that so many other characters like Harry Potter and Eragon have, which I've come to accept as the standard on a personal level, but wish could be better defined and more creative in the future.
