Prince Darius

[Sou Hi]

Prince Darius is really irrelevant. First of all, he acts and speaks like an ordinary teenager from our time and not some medieval era Maybe he's shown that way to indicate that Mianora is very useless too, since he spends much time with them... Hope for his further development tho.

Does he not remind you of Braden Hale from Tysz's other series ? Anyway, I think Darius is actually an interesting character, even though he acts like a rebellious teenager. He was the first and only one (asides from Galen) who dared to face an unknown monster for his daddy. And while he was not very friendly with Maido, he still tried to save the man's life.

Now that you mention it Sou, I see the similarities. They are quite alike indeed.

Darius is an interesting character and quite surprising too.
Anyway, he gets a bit more development in later books.

Yes, I think he's an interesting character with mysterious intentions. He feels like someone whose speeches and actions don't align sometimes (Like despite his spiteful words, he has great respect for his sister). Unfortunately, while he has some developments in the sequels, he's still a minor character.

Really good question, made me think about his character. You do make a really good point that he is a bit more contemporary than the time period suggests. I think his character was necessary though to show Midius Maido's true intentions, and it showed that even though Voulhire is supposed to be peaceful, family conflicts still exist.

Great question again!

I think it's purposeful that he doesn't seem to fit into the book. He seems like a right prick and I think that represents the change happening within Voulhire, right under the King's nose!

Prince Darius is your typical arrogant and privileged young prince. I have a feeling if he inherits the throne from his father Midius Maido will stick to him like white on rice.

[EReid]

I wonder if he was purposefully written to seem out of place and awkward. It makes him more unlikeable and seemingly less suitable for the throne. I suspect this is a setup for his father truly not wanting him to take the throne as Maido suspects.

[Rayah Raouf]

He seems spoilt. He has been living a lucky life. I don't think he's going to be important? I think he cares for himself only. There's a possibility he will change, but I don't see that coming anytime soon.

Prince Darius is an odd character. He does not behave like a son of a King. He is lazy and embarrassed his father. However, he is a significant character because through him, we are able to understand Mianora.

Although he was a secondary character, I couldn't help but feel that prince Darius was an awkward character; his character didn't seem to fit into the background of the Voulhire story. Besides his unusual lack of interest in the throne, his manner of speaking, and his sport of preference, jogging, seemed too contemporary for the time this book is supposedly set in. What do you think of His character?

Regarding his untimely attitude, I also didn't appreciate that there are customs belonging in a different period but are used in this book, assuming the book's established period from our observance. As the heir of the King's throne, he have so much potential to influence the flow of the story. But, he isn't significant so far. I hope that the author could make use of Darius' status.

Lolz , I totally agree with you on this subject. Who jogs in such a time described in this book. However it is common that most people born into royalty usually seek for a normal life life unless he would develop interest in the throne later.

I think Prince Darius isn't an irrelevant character in the novel despite his diverse demeanor but is a predominant character in the novel that has a significant role to play in the rise of Hillport again in honor of his Fathers name Lord Eldus.

He did seem out of place in the fantasy world. I wasn’t really fond of him but I’m hoping that his character will become more likeable since there’s a chance for development with him being the heir.

[Mayang Bature]

Darius seems like a selfish character. He is only interested in what pleases him. Perhaps that's how he found out about jogging

Well, Prince Darius mat me a secondary character in the first part of this novel but I believe a story is yet to be told about prince Darius and I believe he would fit in as a primary in the next edition of Voulhire.

I feel like the author wrote Darius the way he did so he could build up his charcter in subsequent books. You are right though his speech was too modern for the medieval setting.
