Spoiler for like, any book existing.

I think mine has to be the villain in Mirror Man. Idk, he wasn’t intimidating, he wasn’t interesting. He was meh.

Also the villains from The Chain. Dear God they weren’t sympathetic in the slightest. The book tries to act like they were atleast pitiful but FROM THEIR INCEPTION, they were just evil assholes who enjoyed causing pain. The book itself wasn’t all that great anyways.

    True! Though maybe it still will seeing as how we’ve only got 2/3 of this current series 🤣

    Regardless, WHAT A CHARACTER RIGHT?!?! When I first read that I stopped to think of the consequences of the Cthaeh and the only metaphor I could come up with was like a small collision with a space satellite that cause another and another. Every piece becoming the possible destruction for something else, until the whole earth is shrouded by debris. I can’t imagine a more terrifying character.

      Yes, exactly!!! It was the first moment in the series (I’m not the biggest fan, heh, though I do think it has some strong points!) where I felt actual emotional weight, and had a bit of a chill thinking about what, exactly, the Cthaeh had already influenced. What chain of events was Kvothe a part of, even before he got there?
