You know, in her book, Sara Douglass presents WolfStar as a likable character but, sorry, for me, he's totally not salvageable. That guy murdered over 200 children. He sacrificed his own pregnant wife. He crushed MorningStar's head to a bloody pulp with his bare hands just to protect his identity. He gave the Gryphon to Gorgrael and thus opened the path to destruction of the whole Tencendor. He french-kissed his own daughter, knowing that she was his daughter! Yuck! It disgusts me that Douglass is still trying to present him as a nice guy despite all of that. Ick and na pfui! *shudders* And Azhure is totally in awe of him, of course. Bean-sized brain, really *rolls eyes*

Heh. Remind me a bit of the greek heroes actually, they were all pretty much assholes they just got away with it because they were "heroes".

What on earth are you doing over there? This makes Tripwire look like Anne of Green Gables, and it has fisting in it!

Uh, Tripwire has that, not Anne of Green Gables. Just so we're being clear.

It's possible that that's where she got her inspiration. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like it when the heroes are not just black and white but what's too much is simply too much X(

Anne of Green Gables with fisting? Interesting XP

StarMan is a book that I'm currently translating. It's not bad per se, the plot idea is quite interesting and I don't mind it when the heroes have shades of grey but Douglass is really going over the top with this one X(

Dude. Whole other series, I'm telling you.

Yeah, what you're describing isn't so much "shades of grey" for me, but "utter bastard". Hard to build a hero around that. See oh, anything by John Ringo.
