Re: Favourite character?

My Favourites are (in order): Malta, Althea, Wintrow, Fitz and Nighteyes, then Amber, then the Fool. I preferred his guise as Amber as well because she seemed more capable than the Fool. And the Fool annoyed me a bit with his almost obsession over Fitz.

Best Liveship has to be Ophelia though. She was great.

Re: Favourite character?

Yay another Malta fan! She was my unexpected favorite. I prefer Amber to her guise as the fool and lord golden.

Re: Favourite character?

I adore the Fool and Fitz and they are certainly my favourites, along with Nighteyes.

Patience and Lacey are also one of my favourites and Burrich.

I also like Amber and Paragon. I hated Malta at first, but I came to like her, especially in the 'Ship Of Destiny.'

Re: Favourite character?

I like Fitz (of course - who couldn't?) and Nighteyes...

I also liked Brashen (despite reading his name for over half a book as 'Brashden'), and Chade is great too. I must admit that Molly got on my nerves a bit, and the Fool did at first, but by the last trilogy I got rid of that.

It's been two years since I read this series... I'm SURE there were others I liked, but I can't recall...!

Anyway. This series took over my entire life for a whole year, and I think I'll come back to them someday - once I've had the chance to forget the plot... eh? Lol. The best thing for me about the books were that I didn't really have any idea where they were going to go.

P.S. First post on the Forums! Wooo! *officially a newbie*

She was kind of like a replication of Molly. Only more stubborn and mean. I didn’t like her very much too.

Re: Favourite character?

I adored Fitz, in spite of all his whining. Nighteyes was, of course, my utter favourite, followed by Chade, then the woman in the short story (I forget her name. The story was in Legends, the one where they start getting scales?),then Ke... um... Ketrin? Mountain woman. You know who I mean.

Also a while since I last read the series.

Nettle had every reason to be mean to Fitz, from her point of view. Even though he was her blood father, to her he was a stepfather, trying to usurp the place of her real father. I know Fitz is the main character, which can inspire a certain protectiveness in readers which may not always take into acount the full circumstances, but while Fitz is not at fault - except in the sense of allowing Molly to back out for no good reason, again - Nettle is at least partially justified in her behavior. To summerise, I like her. Leave her alone.

Re: Favourite character?

Kettricken is the mountain women, did not read the legends series though, only the 'real' books.

I hate the fact of her woman know better thinking in Nettle, while she is clueless herself.

Re: Favourite character?

Has to be Nighteyes - there's a website just for him somewhere, where people have posted their idea as to what he looks like - brilliant!
