Heyho! I was searching for a few "top10" threads but so far I haven't found a single one! How unexpected considering that on Youtube you get overwhelmed by them and for example the scifi forum I frequent has them as well, in which you can score how much you liked a season and whatnot. Point is, we need something here, I was really looking forward to seeing which characters are most often named as favorites. That's also why I make it a "top3" list and not top5 or even top10, because then you don't really have to think so much about it. The rules are simple: You don't have to take into account how fleshed out a character is, how well written, how deep or how often he or she appears "on screen". You decide which criterion is most important for you. Just tell us your top3 characters. Feel free to explain why they are though. Okay, lets start: 1. Shallan I always love it when Shallan appears on the paper. Why? Mainly because she goes places you don't normally see and hear about and it's so exciting what she does. I guess spying is exciting stuff.. Remember the scene in which she first met the Ghoostbloods? My heart beat as fast as hers And how she managed it, so impressive. But she grew on my right from the start, the first chapter(s) in WoK where she chased Jasnah and even though she was thoroughly intimated by the woman (rightfully so) she persisted. I loved it when her sailor-escort (I forgot his name, he cheated in a game against merchants or constables or something) asked her "you just accept it?" and that was when she took heart again and decided to buy those books to remedy her gaps in her knowledge. Sigh. Pretty impressive. The only downside she has is that it is very hard for me to understand why it is so hard to say these truths. She just has to admit what happened to herself (and her spren, granted) - how hard can that be? That requirement always makes me wonder if only "damaged" people can become lightweavers in the first place. Because for most people .. are there truth we are not telling ourselves that would be so painful to admit? Anyway.. => I do enjoy Shallan's chapters most because they are exciting, you often learn some well kept secrets and she is funny. 2. Syl My second most favorite character in the Stormlight Archives is Syl. She is such a positive influence on her surrounding that Kaladin can be very very glad that Syl picked him. I bet not all honorspren are so upbeat, smart, fashionable (after Adolin advised her), sophisticated, graceful, and cheery as Syl! 3. Rock Rock is a rock. He knows who he is and is therefore exuding a self-assurance that has a calming and positive effect on his whole crew. He is respectful towards spren (at least those who can think) and generally a very humble person with a big heart. I can't nail it down why exactly I like him better than all the other characters, and there are so many available, it just feels like Rock is someone you can depend on 100% and whenever he is mentioned in the book or is saying or doing something, I like to read it. Feel free to agree, disagree and make your own list. Looking forward to it!
