Arcanist Lupus he/him Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 The main issue with Wax and Marasi is that Wax wasn't romantically interested in her. He kind of almost was, but not quite. If I were choosing a girl, I'd almost certainly go with Marasi. But I'm not Wax, and I think he made the right (and only) choice. That being said, the poll is ambiguously worded enough that I don't know which option to choose.
Deus Ex Biotica Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 These message boards are probably the most sophisticated of any I have ever joined, for the sole reason that on any other boards, I cannot possibly imagine Steris getting a full third of the vote. Marasi is the answer we as readers, and Wax as a character, are inclined to want. She's beautiful, clever, and shares his interests. Passion always points to Marasi. Steris is the answer that, ultimately, makes the most sense (it's not just my opinion - most of the Steris posts have detailed logical set-ups, while I do not recall any for Marasi). It saves his House (and thousands of families), it gives him a basis to attempt to bring down the Set (and their nebulous evil), and it is the best for Marasi (who really isn't ready for either the dullness of her hero settling down, or the excitement of him having adventures like this all the time). I was sad when Wax made the right choice, but I was proud of him as a character, and Brandon Sanderson as a writer. Then again, people tell me I have no romance in my soul. -- Deus Ex Biotica
