First, Eli trying to use water works on the prince for sympathy was stupid. I thought 'If the asshole doesn't give a shit about a family's abuse of a little girl, he definitely doesn't give a shit if you cry.' maybe she didn't realize that.
Second, I do not like to brand people as bad or evil too easily. I can usually sympathize or empathize a little with "bad" characters, but this, family is just rotten. They blame Leslie for their misfortune when, ultimately, they brought that shit on themselves. They are going to go after Leslie and get fucked up. I won't feel even a milliliter of sympathy.
Another thing. I do not mean to imply that at any point I felt sympathy for the Sperados. From the beginning there was nothing but pure heartlessness and greed.
I do not like the FL's personality. Why? I don't know. something just does sit right in the way she goes about things. I'll stick around a bit longer though.
It’s a different type of strong than we’re used to. Most strong female leads in these stories are elegant and quick witted while she is more vulgar. I find it refreshing because I relate to the way she talks and thinks. She shows her distaste openly instead of planning ahead which also is very different. I actually don’t think she’s shallow or cliche
I never thought that I could have so much contempt for a fictional character, but here I am.
