Re: Book recommendations urgently needed
@camlorn, I have no problem with "rule of cool", if there is something to back it up or if I like the character enough to want to see them succeed.
Likewise, I've read plenty of YA books I liked with big battles and lots of awesomeness, James Dashner's maze runner, heck, I recently gave Rachel Aaron's second heartstriker's book a pretty high rating for exactly the same thing.
With Daro in the red rising books though, he was just such an invincible and insufferable arse that I was rarely if ever on his side, and there just wasn't enough else to hang the series on, since basically it all revolved around him and his habit of solving issues by Daro ex machina.
Again, if people liked the series, fair enough, but even for a Ya novel which is an action romp, I just need a character I can actually want to see succeed, especially if we're in that character's head all the time.
