You know, I really love Donia. Totally into the tragic characters too. It is kind of a toss-up if I like Donia or Niall more. Brooding and sad is usually more interesting to me. Thanks for the raving post about Marr's short stories - I've downloaded them now :)

Niall, because...its Niall. Need I more reasoning?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I have a favorite or not. I have to agree with everyone, Niall and Donia are pretty fabulous to read about, but I am interested in seeing Seth's character develop. I wouldn't say he's my favorite character, but I see way more random chaos happening with him than any other characters and I love seeing that happen.
ReplyDeleteCount me in, after your reviews, I'm thinking I'll go ahead and give this series another chance. And like you, I am in love with Niall. He's the Dark Lord and he owns it.

I love Seth because of his devotion to Ash. He makes the ultimate sacrifice in becoming fey. Thanks for the contest. I'd love to win.

Thanks for introducing me to this series. In the little bit that I've read, I think Ash is my favorite, but that could well be that most of what I've seen has been through her eyes. Thank you for the contest.
ReplyDeleteI have liked Seth from the start. You gotta love a regular mortal man who stands up to the immortal Fae for his woman. However, Niall is my favorite. A former Dark Court darling who switched sides twice, is now the Dark King (and a freaking awesome one at that) and has a great, big bone to pick with Keenan? That is one complicated guy. Plus, he just gives me the warm fuzzies :) I hope he really gets to kick some Summer butt. Go Niall!

My favorites are Seth and Leslie.
ReplyDeleteSeth because his character is growing and changing so much and he is so devoted. Its cool to watch how he changes and adapts to this new world.
Leslie, I have liked from the beginning and am looking forward to finding out what happens to her.

Niall is my favorite b/c I just loved him in Ink Exchange! And while reading Wicked Lovely, I remember reading his advice to Keenan about Ash and not really looking past face-value at his comments. Then when I read Ink Exchange I really saw how deep his scars were and how he used that dark past to try and guide Keenan rather than do anything selfish, and he did the same for Leslie though that didn't end so well.
ReplyDeleteBut how 'bout I'm actually shocked that I'm in consensus here?! I have run into people who like Irial, but not Niall! It's cool to see :D
Btw Seth is no slouch either, lol
I like him a lot too :)

I havent't read the Wicked Lovely series yet, so I can't tell you about my favourite character, but I heard great things about this series and would love to read it!

Niall is definitely my favorite. I loved him in Ink Exchange. He was such an awesome character.

I really like Seth for his devotion :)

My favorite characters are Leslie and Niall. Throughout all of the books (and now the short story), I think they've probably had the most believable character development based on their tragic, abusive pasts. I liked that this history allowed them to be vulnerable with each in Ink Exchange.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the contest!

My favorite character is Aislinn. Why? Because she sounds like a kick ass heroine.
ReplyDeletecindyc725 at gmail dot com
Aww swoon Niall because when I read Ink Exchange it was cataclysmic the way he wiped out my favoritism for Keenan
ReplyDeleteoh yeah duh katybug2373@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteNiall: Dark is the reason. It's all I want.
ReplyDeleteJust FYI I read the entire short story and the first 18 chapters last night.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite character is a toss-up between Niall and Irial. sigh. I love them both.
Ash is my favorite. She's strong, yet not afraid to ask for comfort or help when she needs it. I love the other characters too, but she's my favorite!
ReplyDeleteSeth :) jeffandvicky108@yahoo.com
ReplyDeletei'm gonna have to go with seth, but it was a tough call....
ReplyDeletek_sunshine1977@yahoo.com
Niall is such an interesting character, the ultimate bad boy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win this book.

I would have to say my fav is Niall. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeletelizzi0915 at aol dot com
Donia, because she's not afraid to stab someone here and there when needed to ;P
ReplyDeleteyan.pocky(at)gmail.com
Seth. Although I have to confess to only having read the first one. I know, I know. I'm horrible at finishing series. :)
ReplyDeleteI like Donia. I just think she is an interesting character.
ReplyDeletedawnpnr at aol dot com
I haven't actually read this series, but I have the first book and I can't wait to start!
ReplyDeletegypsyrover21@yahoo(dot)ca
I actually haven't read these:( I hope I can still be entered though because I have been wanting to start reading it.
ReplyDeleteemail bangersis(at)msn(dot)com
Niall, just because he's such an awesome and intriguing character. But there are so many other awesome characters too...hmm...
ReplyDeleteskibunny9197 (at) aol (dot) com
Irial, hands down. I love the fact that in so many ways, he's so incredibly human. And yet, he'll never be human, at least in terms of his behavior. I loved how in Stopping Time he was thinking about how there were only two people in the world he really cared about, and everyone else was just.. tools to keep them safe. That thought process really accentuated for me how far from human he really is. And yet, he shows these flashes of vulnerability and other emotions and for a moment, you forget. Anyhow, I could babble all day about all the fascets of his character that draw me in, but I'll stop now *g*cCourtney
ReplyDeletecstover165@gmail.com
Leslie! I love the conflict and darkness in that character. Her journey felt very real to me.
