I really liked Emmy and Valerie but they were not overly explored in this book.

I don't think that was the reason...due to her pet selection and her previous stay in Shadowpain, Valerie needed to feel free...to know she was free. The Wandering Albatross enabled this freedom away from the Orphanage and its fate sealers. If Will had promised such freedom in his adventures (which he couldn't since he didn't know) they would have gotten along great. They were just aquitances.Kro92813 wrote: ↑30 Sep 2019, 07:23And there were many of missed opportunities to do so!

Were there any cases in the book of echos and sounds dining together, bunking together, having classes together, etc?Ferdinand_otieno wrote: ↑30 Sep 2019, 07:27I don't think that was the reason...due to her pet selection and her previous stay in Shadowpain, Valerie needed to feel free...to know she was free.

And I thought her being rescued from shadow pain was a lie valerian had made up

I agree there was just something not quite right about him. He seemed too good to be trueMellaBella wrote: ↑30 Sep 2019, 13:49 My favorite was definitely Auralius. He was eh at first but completely turned around into a hero of sorts. My least favorite was hands down Victor. Sly and creepy. Even though in the beginning of the story it was known yet, but I never liked him. Too sketchy lol

For the least favorite, I'd lean towards Will's father. He seemed far too disengaged even with the loss his family was suffering at the beginning. Very flat.

I agree! My favorite character was definitely Auralius because of his character development that made him really endearing and needed.MellaBella wrote: ↑30 Sep 2019, 13:49 My favorite was definitely Auralius.

I totally agree with you! I really liked Auralius because of how he changed as a character and by the end of the book was kind of the hero of the moment.Leah39 wrote: ↑01 Sep 2019, 07:52 While I really liked almost all of the characters, I found myself liking Auralius the best. He was surly and angry and first, but he admitted when he was wrong, apologized for his mistakes, and ended up coming through for his friends and being a reliable and brave character.
While I disliked the Fate Sealers, after hearing how they were trained, it was hard to do much more than pity them. Victor Valerian however, was a villain through and through. He was sneaky and conniving, which makes him the least likable character for me.
