Who would you trust, the town Mayor or Rowan?
I found myself gone back in forth between the two when I was reading the story. How about you?

I agree with your description of Rowan. I'm not as concerned about Rowan's ulterior motives since I suspect he might be a bit lonely and perhaps an outcast due to his questionable actions in the bigger city. I do think his language and somewhat careless treatment of woman would make me question the value of his friendship.

But for some reason, I really like him. He's very funny and outspoken. He's a lady's man, he likes to banter offensively, but he knows the limit. For me, the funniest part of the story is whenever the Mayor and Rowan is in the same room. Very funny.
Hopefully, Rowan hasn't fooled me

I agree. It's not clearly shown in the first book, but Rowan does act like a lonely child who craves love in the sequels. But I think he is quite honest in his talks with Galen. I do find him suspicious trying to stick to Galen, but I doubt he has any reasons to harm Galen. It's Galen's uncle who came to Rowan and not the other way around, after all.Krista Ash wrote: ↑03 Oct 2020, 14:50I agree with your description of Rowan.

That's right. Frankly, Rowan could just tell Galen's uncle that he didn't find his nephew, or he couldn't get Galen into Voulhire. No one would ever doubt him, as everyone knew how dangerous it was at the Lands of the Princes. Yet he did everything to help Galen, even down to the paperwork. It's solely thanks to Rowan that Galen could achieve his new life.luchi123 wrote: ↑03 Oct 2020, 07:15 I would trust Rowan for as long I need him to help me. This is because he was honest about the money kept for Galen. I also liked his determination to get some of the valuable rock despite all odds, and the metal needed by goldsmiths. He may have had ulterior motives, but I think he would always let it be a 'win-win' situation with Galen.
