Re: Book 5: Grand Conspiracy (Book 2 of the Alliance of the Light). Little thoughts. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 27/06/2010 10:59:17 PM
Fion Areth annoys me like nothing else - too dense, too blind and so on. He seems above average intelligence, but is completely unable to think beyond his preconceptions. I can imagine characters blinded by prejudice - other characters in the books are believable in their prejudice, but given less evidence, others have turned their ideas around. He is a rare, poorly written character. An example of a prejudiced character well written would be the widow of Merior, I can't remember her name.


It is really annoying because her other characters are so well crafted. I'll see if the book I'm on now fixes things.

And the widow at Merior is Jinesse.

See, I like these books, but looking back at it, the first book seems... underdeveloped. - 25/04/2010 08:45:27 PM 632 Views

That seems unlikely, she is American after all... - 25/04/2010 08:56:53 PM 588 Views
