Shadow of the Torture - You're Down on Sevarion So Much?

"I don't really have any true reason to disbelieve that Sevarion as presented in Shadow is not how he is," says author. "Some pretty awful things are revealed, right? But he's a complex character with both good and bad traits." In the first book of this four-to-five book cycle, depending on how you look at it, 'Sevarion' is heavily weighted towards being an immature person who isn't responsible for himself.
