I'll try not to spoil anything too much for those who aren't as obsessed with this series as I am and probably three people will care, but I need to take a second and complain about one particular character. Leesha Paper irritates me so. much! I know, her backstory is supposed to make me feel sympathy but I have none. Yes, her mother Elona is a whole level of awful to her daughter, (that's a separate post), but Leesha, despite what Peter V. Brett does to make her seem better than her mother is objectively worse. I know I'm supposed to feel sorry for her after events that take place in the Warded Man and the rest of the series as well, and I did... until I saw her character develop as everything progresses. Her holier than thou attitude bothers me, and the way she goes about things to get what she wants isn't noble no matter what anyone says. She's not even a good mother. I'm sorry, but sheltering a child so much that they put themselves in danger that you should have warned them about? Idiotic and she could have done better. There's something she goes through in the spinnoff that I hoped would knock her down a few pegs and it does... for approximately 2.5 seconds and then she's right back to being that irritating holier than thou I'm noble and better than anyone else woman that I can't stand. If she were to get killed off in the final book that's coming out I would do a happy dance. I don't think that's going to be the case but I can dream.
