This book has such deliciously complicated characters that are being infinitely more memorable than any straightforward nice guy or girl.

I agree that I have trouble with the "bad boy" who only quits his philandering ways when he finds the "right girl" that doesn't feel real or redemptive to me. What if he stops liking the girl, or gets bored, does he go back to who he was before? It puts too much pressure on her. I love the way this book explored consequences and redemption. Also the hot kisses were nice too.

It's nearly always something that I need when it comes to a 'bad boy' love interest. I know I prefer the sweet and nice option when it's possible, but I can't help but find bad boy personalities quite interesting too, especially when you start asking yourself all those questions. (But in real life, whole other story. I refuse to deal with anyone who isn't anything but nice!). This is a great guest post. Ignifex's character was definitely one of my favourite things about Cruel Beauty, so I love getting to hear from the author. Thanks so much for sharing! :)Sam (Realm of Fiction)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04440380021875536125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-44541583456014273712014-01-30T16:02:34.747-05:002014-01-30T16:02:34.747-05:00I'm not a fan of the bad boy, but I do love re...I'm not a fan of the bad boy, but I do love redeemable qualities in my characters. To me a bad boy doesn't really care about anyone else but himself and isn't tortured by his own shortcomings. I guess it is in how you define the bad boy. I enjoyed the bad boy in this book, however! LOL I'm a vat of contradiction. :DMelissa (Books and Things)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00074452958853212024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-71945952479241637802014-01-30T11:12:21.700-05:002014-01-30T11:12:21.700-05:00I suppose it's kind of the same thing as when ...I suppose it's kind of the same thing as when the bitchy girl gets all the great guys. I always liked the bad boys (in literature -- I never liked them IRL) because they were untouchable and forbidden. I was too much of a good girl to appeal to them.Mary @ BookSwarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099395167194720599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-71780084860928389502014-01-30T10:12:06.437-05:002014-01-30T10:12:06.437-05:00LOVE this post!

But when bad boys are done well (as in Cruel Beauty), they completely mesmerize me and no other characters aside from them exist for the time I'm reading and usually the weeks following.

I think that the bad guy storyline is so often overplayed, but I love seeing authors actually transform their characters into more than what we're offered in the beginning. That's true talent!

It's what i loved about Ignifex and it's my very favorite thing about this book. Very few authors do this successfully and believably, without giving their characters personality transplants. Melina Marchetta did it with Froi, and how, and Ann Aguirre did it twice, with Stalker and Jael. <br />Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.com
