Commenting on old topics again, my bad
As is probably clear from my other posts, my clear favourite was Kennit. My favourite character of all time was Kennit. I loved his ambition, he made me laugh, and he was the character I sympathised the most with. 90% of the scenes in Hobb's books which made me cry were Kennit's memories, and about as much of what made me laugh was him as well.
In LST, I also loved watching the development of Wintrow's character, and his interaction with Kennit. I liked Paragon heaps. I despised Malta to start with, although I loved reading about her because I really wanted her to get her just desserts, and then I started to really like her during the second and third books. I liked Althea, but Keffria really got on my nerves. Weirdly, Satrap Cosgo was fun to read about even though he was such a brat, because watching Malta deal with someone who a couple of books earlier would have been her male counterpart was so amusing.
I didn't like Tintaglia though. And the serpents were just...bleh. I know they're important and all, but I've skipped their parts on all subsequent reads.
And in the Farseer trilogy...The Fool, and Nighteyes, no competition. Easy question I think the person who actually got on my nerves the most was Fitz - that's probably why I prefer the third-person narration series like LST and the Dragon Keeper books. I liked Patience and Lacey, though. I have a thing for the eccentric characters, they always seem to be among my favourites
