reynevan is the most relatable protag because he started summoning a demon—like a literal demon from hell—and then had a panic attack and started getting really scared and freaking out and messing up the words halfway through and fucked it up and almost died

#book: narrenturm #c: reynevan #txt #hussite trilogy #i mean also yennefer and triss at rivia but the thing is that they were taking a brave last stand #reynevan didnt really have to start summoning a demon but he was like you know what fuck i #i have the amulet its all gonna go well

"[I do have] a truly important mission, a truly sacred duty. What I'm doing, I'm doing for you. For us. My mission will change the nature of the world, improve the world, make it better and more beautiful. When it dawns, we will live, you and I, live and love to the end of our days in such a world, a truly Divine Kingdom. That is what I desire, Jutta. I dream of it."

A. Sapkowski, Warriors of God (Chapter Fifteen)

one of the most touching romantic scenes, but rereading this in context with the rest of the book and the end of the series just shows how fatal of a flaw reynevan's idealism became, manifested in these words, these unfulfilled promises to her... he wanted to have it all, and lost it all.

furthermore... stories about wrongfully-maligned characters have always provoked a strong emotional reaction within me. across the trilogy, reynevan is not only accused of so much wrongdoing, but his reputation falls very quickly from bad to worse—murderer, kidnapper, rapist, heretic, sorcerer...

and with two years separating him and jutta since the events on grochowa mountain, and with him in these two years living in prague and becoming a hussite with complete conviction, that he must have been a changed man. plus, that he brought her there with a love spell...

i can't help but think... as jutta was constantly reminded of reynevan's repuation for two years, and now compelled by magic to meet her hussite sorcerer lover amidst snowbanks... as we see their relations from reynevan's perspective, we get this line:

"His memory of her was different. (...) Her eyes had changed. Or perhaps they hadn't changed at all, perhaps what he saw in them now had always been there?"

reynevan senses that she has hidden depths that he has not yet discovered. jutta may have felt the same, looking into his eyes—but, instead of "[the] enigma waiting to be solved, [the] mystery waiting to be discovered" that reynevan sees in her, what does she see in his?

#this scene is like 'do you love the chalice or me more' and the way we find out at the end of the book was so stunning to me #i was legitimately surprised he did that. the character development. but also i don't think he made the right decision #hussite trilogy #reynevan #reinmar of bielawa #c: reynevan #s: my aucassin pursued for love #my art #analysis

i started warriors of god and something just occurred to me

blonde boy protag, his character growth drives the plot, as he is young and foolish at first but grows up over the course of the series, main motivations are for his family and also faces relationship troubles with his girlfriend (or, girlfriends)

wry and sly deuteragonist there to advise the younger boy, pull him out of trouble, and provide common sense to his antics. along with teaching him a few tricks. asides from being wiser, cynical, and realistic in his ambitions, he is also charismatic and funny

yeah we just picked this guy up along the way and yeah he is just some kind of insane cosmic entity in the body of another. also he is large and has an unassuming face
