I also loved Grybald! I felt like he had so much potential. Thinking about it though, the only character we really get any backstory on is Delvin. I would also have liked to see why Princess Jarla became so fierce. I think backstories add layers to the characters' decisions, giving us a bit more clarification as to their motivations. I think Grybald certainly would have been an awesome character to learn more about!J Bishop wrote: ↑21 Mar 2023, 23:21 I ask because my favorite character was Grybald. I liked his personality and little eccentricities, like how he would always correct people when they called him Grimbolt. The one thing I wanted more of, though, was backstory for the character to make his arc feel more rounded out. Were there any characters you felt similar about?

I honestly wish all of the characters had been developed more, especially Delvin. As the main character I felt he fell short. He was a sweet, optimistic chap but, beyond that, pretty drab. Perhaps I wish he would have been more thoughtful and intelligent. He always felt a step behind, and not in the way that books often make you, as the reader, feel a step ahead. It’s not that I felt a step ahead, it’s that he felt behind - like he was just a leave on the surface of a swift stream. It made me feel disappointed consistently, and in the end a little bored.

I agree 100%. And I really hope it will happen in a future. It's the kind of character that could also have its own book.J Bishop wrote: ↑21 Mar 2023, 23:21 I ask because my favorite character was Grybald.
