As probably the only fan of Martin II, can't help jumping in, though I understand that liking/disliking character is a matter of personal opinion. Still, I'd like to say something.

I believe that a character doesn't need a love interest to be interesting; to me it had always been a matter of a personality and development. Not saying that having a romantic plotline is bad; in fact, I like the idea of Matthias' line continuing. (I've been considering giving Martin II a daughter in one of my stories...)

...so he has a real purpose in being there... Do you mean that he didn't have a reason for his quest in the original? I don't think that a hero needs a 'you killed my father'/'you captured my friend' motive, sometimes they just do what is right.

A week and a half? So little until 'Tears of All Oceans'? Can't really believe that, the end of TViT seems nowhere in sight...
