I liked her character a lot. She seems like a spoiled princess who has everything but having it all did not make her happy. She ended up trying to live with the humans and it changed her for the better. It would be hard to fight your instincts and just suddenly be super nice. People often want to change and be a better person, but it's rarely ever easy.

For the role she played in the book, she definitely was likeable. I think the contention would be "to what extent?". I'll have wanted a little more dynamism from her but she definitely was a likeable character

After getting past the idea that she murdered people, I found Cecelia to be likable. It was fantastic that she wanted to interact with people. The writer, on the other hand, made her immaculate and flawless, which doesn't really sit well with me.

Cecilia was likable. Although she was annoying at times, like when she was leading Sebastian and Alexander on at the same time. Otherwise, I found the way she cared for her friends to be nice.

At first i really, really liked her. I don't know why to be honest, but after that she started making me annoyed because she acted like she deserved everything.

I liked her character but I feel it should have been more realistic. The author tried to make her character almost perfect and considering the daughter of whom she was, she would have possessed some evil traits.

I did not find Cecillia likable. I found her unbelievable as a character. A being that is 200 years old who has fought in wars and killed people decides to be a teenager in a boarding school. Her thought patterns were wholly uninteresting and quite repetitive and whiny. I found ALexander Draven a much more interesting character.

It's really hard to say with Cecelia's character. Other than her encounters with her romantic interests, a lot wasn't done to sell her human side. To some extent, there's things to like.

I wouldn't use the word likable. Perhaps relatable. I think the whole rebellious streak is a phase that all teenagers go through.

I did like Cecilia. She fought for a long time (centuries) to break free from being an evil demon. And, I'm sure it's quite conflicting to have both demon and human qualities. I liked her strength, bravery, and vulnerability. So yes, she was a likeable character.

Yes... Behind that spoilt rich girl is a soft one. Cecilia is very much likeable, even though, she was so annoying and disgusting som times.

I did not have a problem relating with Cecelia. I already anticipated some of her actions due to her personality. I liked her character.

We wouldn't have expected less from a princess. And to be fair to her, she actually did try so hard to get mixed up with humans. I think I kept shifting between finding her character likeable and not.

I think it's a bit of a gray area. Sometimes Cecelia's actions made me like her but sometimes she seemed too irritating. Overall though, I think I liked her.
