Lyra was an annoying typical "feisty" heroine. I made it through the first book because the story was so good, but I don't think I would have been able to stomach three whole books of just her.

[(Anonymous)]

Lyra started out as selfish, ignorant, aggressive, rude and egotistical. Hardly 'typical feisty heroine' material, at least not in the first book.

[sabotabby]

This. I totally took her as a subversion of the typical feisty heroine—her big superpower was that she was a pathological liar.

[(Anonymous)]

But typical feisty heroines are selfish, ignorant, aggressive, rude and egotistical. :V

[(Anonymous)]

DA

To be fair, your typical feisty heroine isn't actually intended to be selfish, ignorant, aggressive, rude, and egotistical. Their authors usually think that they're just writing them as being endearingly plucky and passionate, and it totally flies over their head that they've actually written a very unlikable character. Lyra's negative traits, AFAIK, were completely intentional, which would make her distinct from your average, unintentionally grating Feisty Heroine, and perhaps more palatable to someone who usually can't stand reading stories about them.

Yes and it wasn't it nice that she was "tamed" by a boy in the second book. Not.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Precisely! I really liked having a heroine where the story was honest and up-front about her flaws. She just felt like a real child, which is pretty rare.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

+1 This is why I liked her. She was young and flawed as many children are (and adults, of course). But then Will came along and seemed to be "better" and no... I just don't like him at all.
