I loved Jarla with her dedication. I think that women leads bring more interest and anticipation to the reader and the book itself. I love her ways of challenging with dillemas and her straightforwardness.

Delvin is my favorite. I love his rascally personality. He is what would have been called a rounder back in the day.

I admire Delvin's perseverance, Fiorella's tolerance, and Jarla's tenacity. If I had to pick one, I would say Jarla. Even though at times she might seem mean, she shows excellent emotional strength throughout the journey with Delvin and Fiorella and offers much wit while talking with the gentlemen.

While I have huge respect for our good boy Delvin, Jarla is the one that steals the show and moves the plot along. She is also a fierce and strong character that I'm drawn to.

Woah, Delvin and Jarla?? I'll go with Princess Jarla as my favourite. She is a tough, strong and fearless princess. I love her courage and she always goes for what she wants.

I'll have to pick both Delvin and Jarla. The two, with their distinct personalities, make a powerful duo!

Determining my preferred character poses a challenging decision between Delvin and Princess Jarla. However, after careful consideration, I am inclined to select Jarla as my favorite due to her remarkable portrayal as a resilient and empowered female lead. Her authoritative demeanor leaves a lasting impact, and her unwavering bravery is truly commendable. Additionally, I find great enjoyment in the comedic elements she contributes to the narrative.

I loved Princess Karla’s character more. She was confident, strong, and smart. She knew what she wanted and went after it. All characters were unique, but I could relate to her more.

I'll agree that I loved the other characters. But the person who stood out for me was Delvin.

I liked princess Karla because of her guts and morale but my favourite character was the rabbit Freda because the I love rabbits as an animal.

Is it weird that I liked the rabbit? My favorite actual character was Jarla.

Princess Jarla was definitely my favorite out of those three. She was confident, witty, and tenacious. I find it rare to find female characters with such characteristics. Most are timid and demure.

Jarla, hands down!! She is, in my opinion, molded after the Amazons. She definitely gets my vote.

I liked Jarla most. While I enjoyed Delvin, there is a stale quality to stories with well written female characters who aren't the protagonist. It's great that they are cool, active, and fleshed-out but the reader doesn't get to truly know the character the same way they do with the protagonist. Like Hermione in Harry Potter and Katara in the television show Avatar: the Last Airbender for examples.

Princess Jarla is also my favorite character. Her bravery and humor is what makes me appreciate her and pick her as my favorite character.
