One particular strength of KYH is the air of mystery which surrounds her. And what I find particularly impressive is that the more you learn about her, the more questions that are answered about her, the more new questions arise. This is her strength, which is keeping the story fresh.
Nope, SR as a great new recurring character and a foil for KYH - perfect. As main character - certainly not. |
I agree, somewhat, but I don't think SR is perfect. The strength of KYH is her mystery, but I think SR herself still has more depths to be discovered. She's someone that's obsessed enough to cut off her own legs to be able to fly. What kind of real world mentality does it take to make that decision? What kind of life does she have? I just feel that there's more to her that we can discover.
