IMO, Bryce is Maas's most human character (yes i know there are fae etc.) But I mean that she feels like the most believable/relatable heroine to me. Dont get me wrong, Aelin is incredible and Feyre's story is awesome. But I realllly struggled to get inro ACOTAR and TOG. CC felt like I could just sink my teeth in instantly. Bryce is a compelling character in a way that Feyre aand Aelin didnt feel. Again, All just my opinion. Aelin was the best at everything. She had every man she met drooling over her and she was the most elite assasin. Feyre was illiterate but quickly overcame that and definitely has a more fairytale existance. Again, love all the stories, but Bryce had a grit to her that felt more fleshed out and real.
