Charlotte was a nice character but we didn't get to see much from her as she died in the attack in Hillport. But still, she was just a side character and was just to show the perspective of Eldus. I didn't like Beverly's character much but was kind of sympathetic to her. And about Beth, we don't know that much leaving the fact that she came from Caromentis. But I'm looking forward to her character.

My favorite female character was Beth according to the character development. I think she has a lot to learn in this new world. I would also say I like the character of Isla Alderman she has something hidden within her personality that sounds intriguing.

None of the few female characters received much attention, but Isla was my favourite until the ending! It seemed to me that she had a lot of story ahead of her. Beth is very interesting though from both a character perspective, and from the perspective of understanding more about the magic and science of it all

I would say Beth, her character is so promising. There's so much we don't know about Caromentis, and there's so much she doesn't know about the Cosmos.

I liked Charlotte Alderman, because she might have been only female character having enough of a description. She is smart, funny, strong - willed and kind. What's not to like? I also liked Isla, mostly because I liked the siblings relationship between her and Marshus. Hence I hated how their deaths were so abrupt, and not even described properly.

Beth was briefly introduced in this book. So, I'm sure we'll see more of her in the future. I feel that she will end up playing a pivotal role in the fight for the Kingdom of Voulhire even though she met Meldorath first.

I think Isla was my favorite character. She was a shy person but still wanted to make change in her own little way. I also like her relationship with her brother. He seems like her best friend in the world

Thinking about it, they all have something to bring to the table. Charlotte would have ruled with kindness and justice if her life hadn’t been ended so ruthlessly. Beth knows things even Meldorath doesn’t. But I think Beverley takes the cake; she knows how to survive.

My Best Lady was Charlotte Alderman. She is virtuous. She is seen taking care of his family as well as the needy. Charlotte Alderman conspicuously represents the role of women in this male-dominated novel.

My favourite female character is beth despite not knowing her a lot in the first series as she has most of the answers the readers seek in the continuation of the book.

Beverly is a character that has been through a lot and has managed to survive. She plays a significant role in the book.
