Discuss the characters here

Bink - I think I like him, but he reminds me of the stock character in Grimm's that figures things out that no one else can despite not being the smartest person in the room.

With the introduction on Fanchion (view spoiler)[some of the questions about the depiction of women have continued. But, more tame than earlier in the book and, if I had not known that people questioned this book, I may not have noticed as much (hide spoiler)]

Crombie - funny side story . . . I have used the term Crombie for years as slang to mean something excessively weird. Some friends and I thought we had made up the word back in the 90s, but looks like Anthony had us by about 20 years!

That's hilarious! I have also stumbled upon slang I thought my family had made up, only to discover they had to have picked it up in their own youths from books, movies or television.

In this case, I am thinking it may be coincidence that it is the same word. I texted one of my friends a shot of a page with Crombie and he was quite amused.

Is it possible to like all of the characters and none of them at the same time?

HA! I have been there before!

Luckily with this one, I liked more than I didn't like. And, some of the situations that might normally make me not like a character made me just feel bad/sorry for them.
