People have been making posts in praise of Blake, and there's a suggestion that we work our way through the crew after that. I thought I'd go in the order we meet them, so that's Blake, Vila, Jenna, Avon, Gan, Cally, Dayna, Tarrant, and Soolin.

Blake could be annoying at times but then so could Vila (not to mention the others) and we all know I love Vila. :-)I didn't appreciate Blake much until he was gone and then I was surprised how much I missed him.
I can't wait to see Vila's next week.
Also: I'm got persuaded into joining Punkispurple's rpg set in a made up steampunky world. I am a firework maker/inventor,not an aristocrat or sky pirate like the rest of them. *eyeroll* The character has her Vila-esque moments. "Bet you didn't know I could spell mendacious."
*glomp*

Yay for not being an aristocrat! All the fantasy that's about blue-bloods drives me crazy, even Tamora Pierce's feminist stuff; I was delighted to meet her Beka Cooper from the slums. And steampunk is for the win!
Awww, baby Ashley!

Yeah, George was my favourite character in Tamora Pierce's books, then Numair and Aly and Neal. I liked the first Beka Cooper book but found the second dragged a bit.
ahahah it does look like Ashley. Your kitties are the cutest.

I liked George too; I'm still getting to know Numair because I wasn't that keen on reading about immortals demi-god characters. I read the first Aly book and enjoyed it because I've been to Indonesia and she based the Copper Isles so obviously on that, but it was so full of references to immortal creatures and Numair and Daine I decided I would read the Immortals after all. I've just read the second one, Wolf Speaker, which was rather slow to start but the last half was good. I've been spoiled for who Daine is or I'd like her more, but I fear incipient Mary-Sue-ness. At least there's a hint that Stormwings aren't all bad, and the next one looks interesting from the excerpt.
The second Beka book was far too long. I also got distracted by all the Indonesian used as dog commands; make up your own language, Tamora!
