How you "root" for someone who is such a whiny "me me me" type of person and acting like everything is too hard, too this and too that, when you are the HOPE of the world...the "one" and all that...sweet Moses on a Pony. And to have two men, if not more, chasing her a$$?
Jeeeeze, if I were wired that way (women, rather than men) I'd have run from her loooooong ago.

Yeah, Alina is very annoying. Also in the books. I find the TV series less annoying because of the addition of the Crows, which didn't feature in the S&B book series, but instead have a book series of their own (set in at a different time than S&B iirc).
It's good enough to have on while stitching. I only have 2 episodes left, though tonight I'm watching a podcast, but I'll finish S&B probably tomorrow.
