I think I've settled on Hedge as my favourite character. Especially in DoD. I mean, Fidd is blanking him because he can't cope with him being alive again, QB is... annoyed at him being alive again. Instead of getting mopey and emo about it, he just carries on being cheerful Hedge and finding a solution to the munitions shortage. It also seems he gives his misfit squad more happiness than they've known before.
Favourite scenes... oh come on, let me reread the series a dozen more times, and maybe I can then narrow it down to a dozen or so. I'll try and mention some off the top of my head:
- Hood giving the guard back his life. The first time we ever really humanity in Hood's persona. ..EDIT: lies, he's quite nice to Beak in RG I guess.
- When Karsa proclaims his friendship to Torvald before they part ways.
- At the end of HoC, when Fiddler realises that Hedge and the Bridgeburners continue to exist in some capacity.
- The collection of scenes in tBH where Corabb joins and then becomes on of the Malazans.
- The last 200 pages of every book, but I'll choose tBH as the best - the entire conclusion in Malaz, especially as in my head I could imagine Fiddler's music playing over the whole thing.
Um.. and many more.
