Is she acting in Marrock's interests? Because there didn't seem to be much unity between the two. I think in the future there's going to be conflict between them and they're going to turn on each other. It seems to me that that's what the story is leading to.Chandler_Greg wrote: ↑16 Sep 2018, 10:58 Agrona, or more properly, Rahn has the most power over Catrin, but is largely acting in her son, Marrock's, best interest.

You took the words right out of my thumbs. But I think Marrock is the main villain. Though he wasn't much active in this book. The king and the whole family are afraid of him, especially taking over the throne. Agrona is just an intro villain.Chandler_Greg wrote: ↑16 Sep 2018, 10:58 Agrona, or more properly, Rahn has the most power over Catrin, but is largely acting in her son, Marrock's, best interest. At the same time, she is afraid of Marrock and his mad bouts of anger. I think raping his pre-pubescent sister (evidenced by her memory of the stained wolf skin) and his beheading of two other children sets Marrock off as a first-class villain. If the Roman's do set Marrock up as king, he is likely to take a larger and more active role in the series. He has vowed to kill all of his family, inviting a titanic clash with his youngest sister, Catrin.
If you want to be remembered long after you are gone, WRITE books worth READING or DO things worth WRITING about...

Agrona isn't much of a villain, she doesn't do much except against Catrin. Marrock is attempting to kill his family and take the throne.AliceofX wrote: ↑12 Sep 2018, 09:54 What did you think of the book's villains? Who do you think the biggest villain was? Personally, I think it was Agrona. In comparison, Marrock had very little presence. She was also the most direct threat to Catrin. However, I think in the future Marrock might become the main villain of the story. What do you think?

That's an interesting idea that Marrock is being pushed into being bad by his mother Rhan/Agrona. Always the meddling mother!jhalwix wrote: ↑27 Sep 2018, 14:46 I think that Agrona as the main villain for this part of the story makes sense. She's the one that's directly trying to hurt Catrin and pushes Marrock into believing the curse and that he's destined kill his family. The set up for Marrock to be the main antagonist fell short in this one, but I can definitely see him as the main antagonist in later books.
