I agree. I was wondering how come he was the only one with bleached-blond hair and piercings. Also, his vernacular was completely different from all of the other characters. He seemed out-of-place in a medieval-style fantasy novel.AnnOgochukwu wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 06:21 Although he was a secondary character, I couldn't help but feel that prince Darius was an awkward character; his character didn't seem to fit into the background of the Voulhire story. Besides his unusual lack of interest in the throne, his manner of speaking, and his sport of preference, jogging, seemed too contemporary for the time this book is supposedly set in. What do you think of His character?

Does he not remind you of Braden Hale from Tysz's other series ? Anyway, I think Darius is actually an interesting character, even though he acts like a rebellious teenager. He was the first and only one (asides from Galen) who dared to face an unknown monster for his daddy. And while he was not very friendly with Maido, he still tried to save the man's life.Ellylion wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 10:53 Prince Darius is really irrelevant. First of all, he acts and speaks like an ordinary teenager from our time and not some medieval era Maybe he's shown that way to indicate that Mianora is very useless too, since he spends much time with them... Hope for his further development tho.

He does a little bit Darius is a character in development, and I hope he plays a larger part in the next books

I think he was included in the book to introduce his character for the rest of the series, but I do agree that his role is very minor in Book 1.blackjack1 wrote: ↑05 Oct 2020, 05:18 Prince Darius, in my opinion, is a useless character. I don't understand why he was included

I agree that Darius and Wilhelm are opposites. Darius doesn't seem to care about anything political, but when he talks Maido, he implies that he has a pretty good relationship with his father. Based on Wilhelm's opinions though, he doesn't seem like he cares about Darius. I'm curious where their relationship will go.ClaZig wrote: ↑05 Oct 2020, 07:20 To be honest, I'm not very fond of Darius. Despite being the heir, I found him exceptionally stereotypical and quite boring. Nonetheless, I wonder how he could have become such a bland person considering his father's character. The king seems to be someone who highly values progress, popular well being, and culture, but his son simply did not inherit those features. This makes me wonder how different the king might be in his personal life. Also, I guess Darius personality opens space for a huge character development in the future, so I kind of understand why Tysz would portray him like that. However, I think the author exaggerated.
