I Feel For You

It is time to talk about character's feelings. We all know that characters have feelings toward other characters in books, and we also know that that affects the story. Love stories have different feelings in them than books that are all action all of the time. The Warrior Heir does a great job of interweaving the feelings of characters.

Several of the main characters are introduced towards the beginning of the book, each with separate feelings toward each other. The main character, Jack Downey is one of the most fully developed characters. He is followed by his aunt, Linda, Mr. Hastings, the assistant principal at his school, and some other friends, like Will, and Fitch.

Jack's thoughts about each of the other characters reveal traits about them. For instance, when he finds out that his aunt is what is known as an Enchanter, and what her power is, he realizes how manipulative Linda is. That was only one of her many character traits. Mr. Hastings helped Jack train to become the warrior that he was. He was revealed to be a leader/boss. The book even said that he liked to be in control of most situations.

As well as these two, other characters are introduced and characterized throughout the book, creating more people to keep track of as the story progresses.

I really liked the book because of the characters. There are even more things to like about it. You just have to find out for yourself.
