kalinaraSo last time, we started the story proper, but we haven't actually met our hero yet.
Well, we've seen Aidan as a child in the prologue, but the first chapter was from Aileen's point of view. We've heard her concerns ABOUT Aidan, but we haven't seen Aidan himself. So this will be our first meeting.
I'm optimistic. The early leads of this series were less satisfying: I liked the idea of Alix, but her treatment in the narrative tended to hover between sexy lamp and victim of narrative. Carillon was interesting but very flawed. The less said about Donal the better.
The later leads though have been pretty interesting: Niall was pretty good. Brennan and Corin were likable and interesting. I was less fond of Hart and Keely, but I can't deny that they were well-written. Their personalities annoyed me but that was because those personality types in real life tend to annoy me.
But now we get to meet Aidan!
( Let's see who he is! )
