I really, really like Kiriel. Not necessarily in terms of 'I would like to sit down and have a beer with you,' but definitely in terms of 'The fact that you have any notion at all of a moral compass or friendship is utterly fascinating, given your life. Rock on, rock star!'
Gotta agree that this series is totally about The Awesome Ladies. So many awesome ladies having Awesome Friendships, Mentorships, Family Bonds, Political Ties with Other Ladies.
I definitely agree with megwrites that the GIANT CAST OF CHARACTERS can be confusing, but I've read all of the Sun Sword series and in the end there was not a single character that I regret West introducing. Even if I was checking the cast list a lot, she really does make it feel like this is an epic, intergenerational clash, and yes, there are people whose choices twenty, thirty, forty or more years ago still matter today. :D
