My answer is ‘characters’ to both. If I can’t get involved with characters, it’ll be very difficult for me to finish a book. While if I’m in love with characters, I’ll go to the end no matter what flaws the book may have.
I’ll say, I always try to finish a book no matter how little I’m liking it, but some were really too bad even for my resolution… Not many, but I did encounter a few.
I’m a reader of speculative fiction, but I also like historicals and mysteries.
I love stories where characters need to face their fears and stories dealing with characters’ identity (so I mean, cultural ideantity, personal identity and also sense of belonging)
That’s great! I think that characters that exhibit strong personalities in stories somehow encourages us to overcome our own personal struggle in real life!
