Day 3 Character Chatter
Character Chatter!! Todays Armchair
BEA topic is all about the book characters.So I'm going to talk/write
about some of my favorite types of book character. I like my book
characters like I like my life lessons awkward,bitter sweet and makes
me feel all the feels.
It's not just about a good plot and
setting if I can't relate to a character in the first couple chapters
then I’m DNFing whatever book I’m reading. Sometimes I’ll stick
it out think the character will change for the better but it's always
a let down when that doesn't happens. I'm a huge fan of the whole
redemption thing so give me a character with some angst that turns
their s**t around and I’m happy. However what I dislike is when a
character has no type of growth. You know the type the character
starts out awful ie: selfish,whinny,a liar,or etc and then the
climax/life alternating thing happens and boom nothing maybe the
character is slightly less awful but you finish the book and are
just like that's it...what was that why..??Stuff like that bugs the
hell out of me.
Another thing I enjoy in relation to
book characters is when there's snark in abundance a well written
snarky character is the best. For examples see Puck from The Iron Fey
Series,Adrian from the Vampire Academy books and the Bloodline spin
off series ,as well as Bianca from the DUFF. Snarky slightly bitchy
characters and people in IRL make my soul happy,the reason for this
is I always enjoy meeting/reading about kindred spirits.
Basically the type of character I enjoy
reading about no matter the genre or if it's a main character or
secondary second has to be relate-able. I have to feel like every
thing that that characters going though is similar to my issues. Me
feeling this way all comes down to a lot of different variables that
I’d rather not get in to mainly because I like keeping my post
short and sweet. Comment and let me know what you think?
