Dawnstorm, I quite agree. I also like the quirky, not-quite-sane type character, too. An obstical of insanity is always fun to work with and I feel a very developed antagonist is as important as the protagonist.

This series, along with one other book by another author besides the natural J.R.R. Tolkien (lol) are actually the only fantasy books that I read.

The only fantasy i have ever read always have the main characther as a female well except for the harry potter series.

I just dont like anything else ive tried reading fantasy books with male main characters but i never finish them.

[Saroo]

I usually feel the same; books with a man's POV usually don't interest me much... But have you read The Crow yet, Evisel? And if so, did you enjoy it? I can't wait to get my hands on a copy... lol

[danyl]

That's a good point Saroo.
Im incredibly slow as Ive inly just conciously realised that The Crow is from a male POV.
ah well, should be good anyways :D

Funny thats what i was going to say Danyl! lol. . . .Maybe Alison's books are an exception? Am i correct Saroo?

Interesting conversation! For my part, when I'm reading, I don't have any particular preference for a male or female protagonist. But I really, really need that protagonist to be a human being, ie contradictory, fallible, imperfect, vulnerable and so on. How can, say, being brave mean anything, if the character isn't afraid?

A further note (sorry): I think maybe this is one of the reasons im not a Maerad/Cadvan shipper - I feel like Maerad doesnt need a romantic male atatchment to be a "real" woman, or complete her quest.

Go Draoi! Absolutely. Hey Danyl, I hope you like The Crow (not long now, guys) - now I come to think about it there's probably a fair bit about masculinity in there... but I must say, I'm rather fond of my male hero Bards...! ;)

I seem to prefer reading books from the angle of both male AND female characters- I have just finished The Light Bringer, a book about about a captured Roman Centurian and a Germanian chiefants daughter- although it focused chiefly on the heroine, it was really refreshing to get the male percpective on the situation and how 'he' felt about it all..:rolleyes:
