Yes, Hobbs truly excells in giving her characters flaws Big Grin And so I'm rarely in a positon where I love a character completely, I usually see good & bads points with each character.

If I can use this in relation to Sedric, I dont think I ever hated him fully, even at the end of DK when we see him taking blood from the dragon Relpha (sorry if i got her name wrong!). I was horrified and angry at him, but I understood his logic behind his actions, and that he truly beleived he was doing it for a greater good (although this greater good was for selfish purposes, ie. him and Hest living happily and rich). But it was so very human of him, to do something terrible because he justified it in his mind that the end result would be worth it. I mostly felt extremely sorry for him throughout DK and DH, rather than "hate" him. But I did feel very angry at him at times, and wanted to scream at him that Hest was a *astard who wasn't worth so much effort P

With the idea of most main characters in Hobb's books ending up with a partner by the end, I agree that;s something that occurs in a lot of books P I think a lot of ppl believe that the ultimately satisfying conclusion to a character's life (and perhaps for real life ppl too) is for them to meet the man/woman of their dreams, maybe marry, and have kids Big Grin It does get annoying how this "formula" crops up in a lot of books, it can get rather tiresome.

the phrase "love at first sight" should be changed to "lust at first sight" in my opinion, because initially on your first sight of someone, you are more likely to feel purely physical attraction for them, rather than to fall in love lol But I definately agree that that feeling of initial lust can turn into love, as the 2 ppl get to know each other better.
