Next up on my end of the year lists: characters from the books I've read and games I've played! I also sneaked one podcast in here, but the title stays because it's not worth the work of changing the graphic. I also sneaked more than ten characters in here, technically, but that's ok. And I may have talked too much about some of them when these are supposed to be quick descriptions, but I...

I wasn't going to do a top ten characters post this year, but then I remembered it would be a great excuse to talk about Gale from Baldur's Gate 3... So I'm doing a top ten characters post! I only have seven, it's just easier to keep the title and picture consistent each year. Also I'm going to be a bit lazy and copy+paste quotes from my reviews for some of the character descriptions. Work...

It's actually become increasingly harder for me over the years to choose favorite characters from books because I don't really have favorites the way I used to. Which is not an insult to authors, they are still writing great characters! But it's more that I love the way they fit into their stories and the dynamics they have with other characters. I guess, I'm finding it harder now to separate...
