Princess Dorinda comes across as entitled, and her ongoing drug use only exacerbates her negative traits. However, when it came to fulfilling her responsibilities, she made an effort, which was a redeeming quality.

I honestly like Princess Dorinda. The only thing I didn't like about her is her drug usage. I could understand other parts of her. I understood her when she felt entitled and when she displayed bad behaviours.

Initially, I found her character very distasteful and was surprised that she wasn't reprimanded further. It was good to see her character grow and improve during the book. I suppose she was just a typical rebellious teenager, with the added problem of being spoilt. This is a good message for all teens reading this book, to look at themselves and see if there are any simlarities.

I didn't really like princess Dorinda's character at first. She seemed mentally unstable and came off as a spoilt brat. But I liked her more towards the end of the book. I think tutor Laena's presence helped her straighten herself up. She started showing qualities of a leader. I'd love to find out what happens to her character in the other books. I'm sure she'll be a great leader.

Depending on the political climate, Dorinda could be a supporter of the Great Migration, or perhaps she represents a more traditionalist faction opposed to the upheaval.

Princess Dorinda's character in "The Great Migration: Book One of the S'orne Saga" by Steve Ramirez is depicted as a young princess who is driven by a strong desire for revenge at all costs. This suggests that her personality is likely characterized by determination and possibly a sense of justice or retribution, although the specific details of what motivates her revenge are not provided in the search results.

I did not like her at first, but it seems all she needed was someone who genuinely cared about her. Eventually, she really undergoes a transformation that makes her likable.

I suppose her character reversal was a bit sudden and dramatic, though the drugs help explain that somewhat. She is certainly a fireball, and I'm curious to see what role she plays in the trilogy overall.

Throughout the story, I matured to like her. She showed her best self during the attack and was willing to help restore their kingdom, despite her initial pessimism. Although she continued to use drugs and act entitled, she still did her best to do her job when it was necessary.

I think she was rude due to the lack of parental guidance and affection.

Initially a negative character, the princess matured and developed empathy after an incursion.

Princess Dorinda has an intensely sensitive and need-filled personality. Her character was negative at first, but it eventually improved to a positive one.

The princess initially appeared rude. Despite her initial negative attitude, she remained strong and helped her father during difficult times. The princess symbolized both good and terrible characteristics, demonstrating her perseverance and determination to assist in the restoration of their kingdom.

At first, I thought her character was quite obnoxious, with the bad attitude of a rude teenager. However, my opinion of her changed for the better, when she showed strength and courage during the attack on the city. Even after, she was one of the first persons to help with the clean-up efforts, she did her duty as a citizen, she didn't use her position as princess to avoid helping.

and reasoning were displayed. While she wasn't my favorite character, there were qualities in her that I found remarkable, such as how she reacted in difficult situations. I'm curious to see how her character develops as the series progresses.
