I'm not sure if Darrow really looks like this. Anyways, Darrow is one of the main characters of the Chanters of Tremaris Trilogy by Kate Constable. He's my favourite character in the trilogy and out of all the books I've read, he's the one I liked the most. Well, actually, I think it's more like love... I even have a shipping name already... *gets shot*

At first, it may seem that Darrow might be one of those typical cliches in a book: a hunk who has a dark past, refuses to talk about it, moody throughout the book and is paired up with the outgoing girl. Well, he is paired up with the main heroine, Calwyn, and she is quite upbeat and restless... but, ah, that's besides the point. The portrayal of Darrow's character breaks a lot of "rules" of the quiet, moody stereotype. He's not overly moody and quiet. He's a person you can get along with when he's not keeping to himself and if you don't prod him with questions (that's what Calwyn does, unfortunately...). He can show kindness, tenderness and compassion and is very mature. I haven't seen him do anything "immature" at all which is understandable because he's supposed to be 28 (11 years older... *sob*), but people can still be immature in that age. His past is actually very interesting (but anything about Darrow is always interesting...) and it does explain why he broods so much (I love it when he broods... everything about him actually... okay, I'm going to stop now... ). In my opinion, he is the greatest character in the trilogy.

Anyways, I recommend this trilogy to anyone who likes teen fantasy novels and if you're sick of Harry Potter ('cause I sure am, no offense to anyone). I haven't read the third book though, so if anyone has read it, don't spoil anything for me!

(And it's coloured. w00t!)
