Yeah, it definitely seemed similar to Supernatural, and I love that show. One of my favorite shows ever.Thimble wrote:I found Arthur to be the most interesting and compelling.

The book reminded me of Supernatural, where if you even know the main characters a little bit something terrible will probably happen to you.

It reminds me a lot of Supernatural! If you're a friend of a hunter you're probably going to die.Thimble wrote:I found Arthur to be the most interesting and compelling.

I found the character of Arthur most interesting and would have liked to have learnt more about his back story

I think Haatim's father is one of puzzling characters as well. What he is up to?

I agree. It seems like every time Abigail turns around she is slammed in the face with another roadblock, but she keeps on trucking even if it means going against what she was trained to do. I think she is a very strong character that will do what is right no matter the consequences.kandscreeley wrote:I admire Abigail the most I think. She's been through so much in her young life, but she's a survivor. She just keeps dealing with things head on.

Yeah, when they are well-written they can really help a story find its place. I liked that Abigail wasn't really suffering from a lot of the 'problems' a lot of female main characters have (usually romantic) in stories like this.Donnavila Marie01 wrote:Since I am a feminist, I would pick Abegail not because she plays the main character in the story but because she has a strong personality. Honestly, I am also delighted with female main character in a story.

That's a really good question. I keep wondering if he's in league with the demons himself. Is it possible he's even possessed by a demon?? I don't know.Aldonsa wrote:All characters in Raven's Peak are very interesting. I think that the most striking are Arthur and the chief demon (who we met at the beginning).

Y'all bring up some interesting ideas. Now I'm thinking what is going to happen next. I have to start reading the second book prompto. In the sample I read of the second book it made me have an even more bad vibe for Haatim's father.kandscreeley wrote:That's a really good question.

I found Abigail to be very interesting. I think this is due to my love of strong, independent, and capable female protagonists. She had training and lacked fear in most situations. She was confident in her abilities to fight and protect others. She seemed to care as well. I do not think I would want to step into Abigail's shoes however. I see myself as a "lover not a fighter".kandscreeley wrote:Which character from the novel did you find most interesting? Why? Would you want to be that character if you could?

I completely agree with you. Strong female characters are the best! Go Abigail!
