If you don't mind me asking, what series/books in particular have characters you don't care for? Gher Send a noteboard - 10/11/2009 08:12:52 PM
I've read books where the characterization wasn't the strong point, but usually it's because something else is the focus. I'm just wondering if we have a different opinion on characters, or if we just haven't read the same books.


But yeah, no argument here on Lamentation's characters. They were brilliant.
