Date: 2004-09-29 08:56 am (UTC)I meant more that Bellis is pretty unsympathetic (and not all that bright; hell, -I- could tell she was being played, re "Invasion", from moment 1), though she does grow up a fair bit over the book. Doul is a bit of a cypher; Sack is fairly sympathetic; Shek is very sympathetic; the Brucolac is...interesting.
I think it does a much better job of being a single, cohesive story than Perdito Street Station, which has the discordant plot problem (one plotline ends up being ignored or overshadowed by another one, often causing those who were rather fond of the first plot to feel disappointed; Pamela C. Dean seems to have this issue a lot).
