Paigem1415 Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Am I the only who one hates Veil, but loves Shallan? Veil is just so self righteous and annoying.

Eh, I didn't like Veil's character too much either. I don't exactly hate her, but I don't like the character's attitude or personality either; she feels a bit too forced. I do like the espionage she does though, which makes her sections worth reading. Plus, I'd rather have a diverse cast of characters than have all of them be the same, even if I don't like all of them a whole lot. (also, you may want to put this in the SA section)

Like, Shallan tries really hard to make her really hardcore, but in reality she’s kind of… fake hardcore?

I suppose that makes more sense than Shallan somehow knowing how someone hardcore would actually be despite never meeting one. I hadn't considered that before. She still isn't exactly my favorite character, but I think she's good to have in the book overall.
MapEffects he/him Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 I definitely enjoyed Shallan as a character far more before Veil came on the scene. I don’t know that I would say I “hate” Veil, but she’s just kind of there for me. I do agree that I definitely dislike her attitude. I really enjoyed Shallan in WOK and really connected with her because of her love for art. Unfortunately I became less of a fan about part way through the next book and my opinion of her hasn’t recovered much.
