The characters don’t feel like simple tools for moving the plot forward. They have their own motivations and personal logic, and even when I agree or disagree with their decisions, I can usually understand why they made them. That makes their actions feel much more realistic and convincing.
The philosophy behind the characters is also one of the novel’s strongest aspects. The idea of power, its influence on a person, and how one’s principles and beliefs can change when they gain overwhelming strength adds a lot of depth to the story. It makes the novel feel like more than just a journey about becoming stronger.
