I get that we’re supposed to root for Wintrow but I cannot get behind him bonding with Vivacia because he’s Kyles son and Kyle should not have the ship
Kyle is one of the best (meaning: most hateable) fantasy villains I ever read, because he’s just so realistic. He’s not some dark lord or evil sorcerer fighting for power or doing heinous crimes. Instead he’s a violent, misogynistic, narcissist, who is convinced that everything he does is for his family’s sake. He’s a type of man most women have experience with, I’m sure many of the readers know a man like Kyle in their real life. Hobb writes him so well that sometimes it is actually difficult to read, it’s too close to real life experiences. And he’s named Kyle! He’s just some man, but still manages to be the worst person in this world.
