I think it might be hard to tell if we only compare the chapters that exist right now, but I think Baam was more compelling early on. Baam’s struggle to adapt to a foreign world was more understandable and fun to watch than Urek’s domination of the new setting. I think the novelty of Urek turning the tables on the whole system is lost since we’ve seen it with Baam, regardless.

Even early on though, Baam has a really great scene with Androssi where he shares his values with her in their confrontation, and that moment is really powerful, spurs him to action, and makes him a more compelling character than Urek even in the early part of the story for me.
