YMMV / Blackrock Chronicle

• Misaimed Fandom: Rythian and the fandom seem to have... different opinions about his character. The fandom usually envisages Rythian as a morally ambiguous Anti-Hero who is often as hypocritical as those he is fighting against (example: here), whereas Rythian believes that his character is a fairly traditional hero with Sjin and Duncan as the villains. Although he's since entered into a truce with both of them.
• The Woobie: The world seems to be out to screw Zoey as much as possible in the series. Thus far, she had been separated from Rythian for quite a while under unfortunate terms, was continually humiliated by a king of a race she adores, had temporarily been effectively backstabbed by Teep, and, to top it all off, almost died from a nuke she was confident she could defuse. Despite this, she remains quite optimistic.
