Her character was also one of my favorites; it depicted her as a courageous and fearless woman. I'd also add that if I could become half the woman she is, I'd consider my journey of self-discovery to be complete.
Sarah from a as young as 14 had to work through some struggles including family and culture. I agree with you as I was thinking about how she can impact on other women who have walked the same path while reading the book.

However, Jared in subtle ways was able to overcome prejudices from others. He became what his father and the soldiers in the mining thought he was not capable of being.
Excellent!! I may have missed picking him as my favourite character but Jared was so honourable. It is not always people are determined to become better versions of themselves every day.

Myra was very genuine and concerned. Especially about Sarah. It is good you pointed her out.

Being kind to someone who really needs it is the most humane thing in the world. Tom-Tom was good to Sarah and accomodating. I also loved that.

    I loved this about Victoria too. Being surrounded by men doesn't deter her from standing on her truths.

    My favorite character is no doubt, Sarah.
    Amongst many of her positive attributes, one major attribute that made me love her was her bravery. It's so inspiring.
    I also loved her demeanor and courage as well.

    Without any second thoughts, I'd pick Sarah as my favorite character. I felt every single action she took in this book. I love how bold and confident she was.

    Definitely Sarah I don't think would have made more sense without Sarah her interest in culture, her bravery and courage are highly applauded.

    Sarah Cooley is my favourite character. I admire her strength and courage. She's such a good woman with virtues I'll like to emulate.

If I had a carry-over favorite from the first two books, it would be William, probably because he is closer in age to me than many of the others. But specific to this book, I would say that my favorite character is Victoria. I was taught from an early age to watch out for the true protagonist in a book, with the qualification being that the protagonist is the one who is changed the most within the confines of the story. For me, this would be Victoria, a professional woman in a sea of men, and, essentially, a single mother. She digs deeply into herself and second-guesses her values and goals, eventually throwing caution to the wind and standing up for that in which she most believes, the truth and her personal integrity.
    Victoria was a character I was initially hesitant about having started the series without the first two books, but I enjoy your take on the issue. Perhaps I'll have to start looking at characters the way you do.

    I liked Sarah. She is a strong and well-built female character. I loved that she was cultured and spoke her mind.

    My favourite character was Sarah. One does not associate bravery and courage in one so young. She is the epitome of fearlessness.

    Sarah, Sarah and Sarah! Why? Because of so many things. For example because she is not afraid to swim against the river. She is brave and fearless, much can be learned from her!

    Sarah, the protagonist of the story, was definitely my favorite character in 'Totem'. I loved her rebellious nature and rational mind. The element of adventure within her was remarkable for readers. She generated warmth, strength and a very promising demeanor to me through her behavior and actions throughout the story.
