It's hard not to love the surly, uptight, drug-addled bastard.
Sometimes I wonder if I must be a bit of an oddball fangirl in that my favourite character is Amber, as opposed to the Fool. Amber wasn't as funny as the Fool, but she also lacked some of the nastiness and childishness of both the Fool and Lord Golden. But I can't say she was my favourite character, because she comes wrapped in a twin-pack with the Paragon. The Paragon and Amber are my joint favourites. Their friendship is just a thing of beauty and bizarreness. That, too, I prefer in Amber - that you see a side of that character that can have a completely no-strings-attached friendship with another being just for the sake of being friends. It's like: 'I'm an inscrutable prophet of indeterminate sex, race and species. You're a mentally-unstable animate ship with multiple personalities. Let's be BFFs!'
And also... Chade. And Nighteyes. And the Fool. And Fitz. And Thick. And Kettle. And Ophelia. And Jek. Ah, Jek, you she-perve of the seas.
