Every Tuesday I will pick a character I've read about recently, perhaps
even the week before, and try putting myself in her shoes. What things
would I do differently? What have I learned from her behavior? That kind
of thing. You are welcome to participate if you want, just please link
back, so we could build a nice community of followers. Thanks!!! :)
There's been a lot of good and bad reviews about Sweet Evil, but I completely loved the book. And I also completely loved Anna, the brave but sweet heroine.
Some may say that Anna was too sweet to be a demon's daughter. But she's grown up in a human environment, and she's also a half-angel. So, her good nature wasn't to be unexpected. And I actually loved they way she behaved, because she was almost like a mirror image to my own personality.
Let me tell you something - I love it when heroines share traits with my character. It's sort of sweet :)
So, Anna was brave - she wasn't afraid to challenge even the demon Dukes, if that meant protecting someone weak. She was a bit reckless, true, but what sort of brave person isn't?
Her heart was real big - she could hold in it love for her friends and family, and of course for the one boy that she could never have. There were moments when I wanted to pull her hair for not being able to let go of Kaiden, but then again - I couldn't really blame her for falling for him. I mean, who wouldn't??? Still though, she did a pretty good job at living with the knowledge that she could never have him. In my book, that's brave too.
Anna's my pick, who's yours?
Sweet Evil is still on my list of things I have to get my claws on, but sooner or later....

Couldn't do my In Her Shoes post yesterday :( but I will next week :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. I loved Sweet Evil and I also identified a lot with Anna. I loved how brave she was as well. I cannot wait for the sequel. That ending tugged so much on the heartstrings, I was heartbroken for Anna, though she is so admirable in her strength. Awesome post, Vanya :)
