I think the main problem of the rainwild chronicals stems from the fact tha5 the there isnt enough plot time for the story to properly delve into the psyche of the characters and let them develop, losing much of the appeal most rote books have. Those are annoying teenagers that don't go through all the trauma other rote characters do to change to not-annoying teenagers (like in liveships) the characters do , but neither doe sthe story take place over a long enough period of time for them to develop into adults (like fitz in the farseer trilogy)
When you get to the f&f trilogy you see how much they truely developed and found their place and became adults (encluding some changes that seem drastic, because it has been so long in world since they were who they were in their own series). Its just kind of dissapointing how so many characters we just didnt get to see the development of, because of the lack of time for it in the rain wild chronicles themselves.
#these books had very little time to explore the minds of the characters like there was in other parts of rote#to me the strongest plotlines in rwc were the hest-sedric-alise-leftrin situation#and selden's storyline#those were the true highlights of these books#oh and the birdkeepers. though those are a different situation#then you get plotlines that were good but didnt get dived into enough to be developed into being great like thymara&sintara or#rapskal-telator or carson-sedric#but they were nice#and then you get the bane of my anf im sure very rote fan's existance which was the love triangle#horrible horrible annoying plot#tats especially suffers from everything I said in this post. like you can see little signs he will get better as he grows up but you just#dont see enough of it in the books themselves for it to be worth HOW FUCKING INSUFFERABLE HE IS#so yeah. these are my thoughts about rwc#realm of the elderlings#rain wild chronicles
