Most free sources contain only small snippets of text or older works that are no longer under copyright. Amazon Kindle's “First Reads” section occasionally includes western novels. I've had some luck searching for free e-books on the subreddit r/FreeEBOOKS where users post legitimate links to free e-books every day. Sites such as PaperbackSwap, where members can trade used books for free, also have a wide selection of L'Amour's novels. Just be prepared to wait for them to arrive in the mail.

So many of the minor characters receive closure in this final episode. Prudie and Jud get the moment they deserve, as do Jinny and poor Jim Carter’s family. It is a wonderful testament to Graham Harding’s writing that he remembered them all. The ending of the episode serves to paint a portrait of the entire community, not just the Poldark family. Nampara, their home, is a living, breathing ecosystem and it and they have all been affected in so many ways by the good and bad fortunes of the Poldarks. Seeing what happens to the various servants, the miners and their families and the neighbors all round serves to reinforce the point that the story of Ross and Demelza was never just about them. Their struggles and successes had a ripple effect on the community around them and it’s heartening to see how they are all now thriving as a result.

I love Rex and Leif so much, but other supporting characters also get some awesome scenes. First of all, Alicia’s disappearance is what drives the whole plot of the book, and I think she showed so much strength throughout the novel even when she was stuck in Whitewood with the guys. Then there’s Ben, Rex’s older brother, who is kind of a washed up has been but adds a layer of tension to Rex and their family. I love how the authors portrayed the grossness of small town weirdness too. Like the bumbling yet possible evil Sheriff Lawson. I have so much love for each of the characters and how they are all so uniquely flawed. They are all like characters in a twisted coming-of-age movie. My favorite character is definitely Donna. She is the adult in a town of children, so to speak, and provides a sense of reason to the novel when everything else in Bleak Creek is losing its mind.

Lia is the main female protagonist of the book and two guys come to her village - Prince Rafe and Assassin Kaden. The two anonymous POV chapters before you know who is speaking (The Prince or The Assassin) were so cool. Reading the two guys before I knew which was which really drew me into their characters to figure out their motives without being misled by the title of the book and preconceived notions. The Prince, Rafe, is so confident. But also very curious and intrigueing. And The Assassin, Kaden, is very cold and detached but also very observant. It's a really clever device that makes both The Prince and The Assassin very interesting to read from the very beginning. Lia's support system is very fun too. Lia has three female friends - Pauline, Berdi and Gwyneth - that really add warmth and even humor to the story at times of high tension.

I don’t see this as a story about individual heroes. The real structures at play here are the system of royalty, the system of magic, and the system of prophecy. The main characters are the ones trying to tear down these systems, trying to preserve them, and trying to exploit them for their own gain. Kihrin is a wrench in the works, trying to throw a spanner into the machine. Emperor Sandus is trying to keep the whole system running at top speed no matter the cost. Relos Var is trying to build an entirely new system. Their different personalities reflect their fundamentally incompatible views on how to run the world.

Out of the ensemble of characters, Dirac is probably the most interesting to follow as a super-soldier trying to get his memories back. Sagan is also very good, he plays the down-to-earth soldier nicely who tries to hide his wounds. Boutin is an excellent bad guy that you love to hate, and Obin is so creepy in his devotion to Dirac that he upends the typical ‘alien culture’ stereotypes. And even the minor characters, like Cainen, have been written with great wit and depth.

Their ages are perfectly arranged for a shonen story, with young Natsu (17) at the center, followed by new and smart Lucy (16), then rival Gray (17) with a sad backstory, and finally experienced but still with them Erza (19). The ages were picked to enable maximum potential for conflict, for growth, and for close camaraderie among all of them. A 16 year old girl can be naive but smart. A 17 year old guy can be brooding and competitive. A 19 year old woman can be all powerful but also be close in age and so share in their struggles. All the ages add up to create a very effective spread of years for the story to progress as it does.

The main characters in the ‘Investi-gator’ books are Gus the alligator and his best friend, Champ the crocodile. Although both are main characters, Gus is more of the star of the books and has a great detective style that is wonderful to read about. Champ is the funny character and is very loyal to Gus. Together they have lots of adventures and solve lots of mysteries. I think it is great how they enjoy their problem-solving and make it fun. They also show how great friendship is and how it can make normal life more exciting and fun to solve problems along the way.

All the characters in ‘Warrior Fae’ are wonderful. Charity’s ‘humanity’ within all the strange fae politics makes her relatable. Her partner Ryder is struggling with his fae duties versus his growing feelings for Charity, which makes him more interesting. Devon is hilarious and has so much more to him. Titania is elegant with a very sharp edge. And the Unseelie villains are so much fun keeping the story on the edge. I feel that every character, even the background ones, are fully developed. A great read for those who enjoy kick-butt heroines and very complex fantasy worlds.

The storm is another main character in the play. The elements follow a merciless, wild and powerful character, beyond human control. This nature force separates the characters from each other and from the external world, increases the tension and changes the scenery in which the action unfolds. It is as unpredictable as it is powerful and, as such, it compares to the human characters in the play. This would make the list of characters Hannah, Bruce, Liza, Josh, Mako and Cricket, and the storm. The interaction between these 6 human characters and the natural elements creates a pressure cooker in which the technology of the characters fails and they are left without any comfort. In this most primal of states, their true characters are revealed.
