Hi! Sorry, I know I'm late posting on this thread, but it's the most relevant one here to what I'd like to say! I just want to say that I really like Rowan Marlow! Without much reason, I just warmed to her immediatelly. I think that she and Giles are actually my two favourite characters. I think I can identify with them because I'm the eldest-but-one in my family of five children, and I often find myself having to play the 'strong stoical and capable' role, and just 'get on' with things when I don't always want to. I like Giles because he is so capable, and Rowan because I get the feeling she may not really be inside, but feels she has to.
I think it would be really interesting to see where everyone here 'is' in their family is terms of siblings (if you have any) and the role you play/played within your family- and then to say who you like/identify with most in the books. Somewhere in the Marlow family there must be a representative for everybody! My sister likes Ginty best, and I can see why, because she's the youngest-but-one, and is a bit of a 'free spirit' and very much likes to do her own thing.
My problem is, that I've read a rather strange collection of the books- Autumn Term, The Marlows and the Traitor, End of Term and The Thuggery Affair, and I'm about to read 'The Players and the Rebels'. Not very much Rowan in any of those- except Autumn Term. Which book shows the best character development of her in your opinion? Whichever it is, I'm keen to read that one next!!
