30 Day Meme - Day whenever.
Aug. 22nd, 2010 01:08 pmI've got to admit I've lost all enthusiasm for this meme. It hasn't turned out to be nearly as much fun as it first looked like it would. But I hate to leave things like this unfinished, so...
Day 21 - Favorite romantic/sexual relationship (including asexual romantic relationships)
I'll go with Leesil and Magiere from Barb and Jaycee Hendee's Noble Dead series. Their relationship is very levelheaded and like real life for a couple where one is a berserking dhampir and the other is an alcoholic former assassin. The relationship builds up naturally in the series and once it's established, doesn't overwhelm the storyline or get saddled with unnecessary drama, but their love for each other is always apparent even when it's not center stage.
Day 22 - Favorite non-sexual relationship (including asexual romantic relationships)
I'll say Firekeeper and Blind Seer from Jane Lindskold's Wolf series. Firekeeper is a noblewoman literally raised by wolves in the wilderness and Blind Seer is her wolf companion. He speaks but only she can understand him. And it's pretty apparent that she has a crush on him - which you'd think would make for uncomfortable reading since she's human and he's a wolf - but it doesn't and their interactions are some of the best parts of the series.
Day 23 - Most annoying character ever
Hands down, Morgaine from Marion Zimmer Bradley's The Mists of Avalon. Although Gwenhwyfar with her hysterical Christianity and agoraphobia runs a close second. But Morgaine sucked as a protagonist. She was in no way sympathetic and pretty much just came across as an inflexible spoiled brat. Did I mention that by the end of the book I wanted to see Avalon paved over and turned into a parking lat complete with a McDonald's and a Starbucks?
( The Prompts... )
