I generally agree that ...Good thoughts on conflict. I generally agree that I gotta like the protagonist, though I tend to be more interested in plot than character. If a book has a catchy plot AND an engaging character, then I’m really hooked. I keep trying to remember that and make my protagonist likeable. No, more than that, engaging. I think he’s still too stolid.<BR/>When a protagonist can’t or won’t see the solution, I feel like the author is dealing me dirty, is cheating me. I’ve recently developed what I think is a nice addition to the internal conflict Tayne feels. He wishes Eskin would go home from the Keep, but he has promised his family clan that he will keep Eskin there (mainly so his sister can marry better).<BR/>Too much internal conflict without action is one of the main things that stops me from finishing a book. I found the book and a half I read by John Green boring.TimInMichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004213142269007247noreply@blogger.com
