He is used to explore Voulhire, maybe not as much as Lord Eldus and King Wilhem, but yeah, sure.

I feel this way as way. He also seemed too “innocent”. But his character development was, indeed, interesting to watch.Ana Victoria2002 wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 18:28 I felt that Galen is a character that is a bit bland for a protagonist. I like Rowan and even King Wilhem a bit more because I felt that Galen did not have a backbone. However, I think that throughout the rest of the series readers can see some character development.

I also think he will be the perfect protagonist for this story. As I have yet to read the sequels, I can't say for sure that the author develops his character sufficiently; however, he could perhaps have spent a little more time on Galen in this first installment.Cynthia Olyy wrote: ↑02 Oct 2020, 00:30 Galen is just the perfect protagonist for the story. Although the author did not fully unveil his part in the overall plot in the first book, it becomes clearer why he did that in subsequent books.

Can you attribute his character traits to the overall rating of the story, or does he tamper with its flow? Could a change in his characterization have caused a switch of the author's tone?
I think he fits just right. He's far from perfect but I think the author wanted the readers to experience firsthand for the first time the world with and through Galen. And this way, the readers will be more enticed with the story.
