It's a fantasy novel, so the characters don't really have motivations. At best they'll act according to whatever symbolic archetype they belong to, but for the most part it's all about moving the plot along.

The second and fourth books are excellent for genre shit. All of the ones before Toll the Hounds are ok. The last books are pretty questionable

it sounds like a bad example of a particular genre

It seems like you are implying that any fantasy is shit, but that would make you a giant fedora.

Hi welcome to /lit/. Most fantasy is shit. Most fiction that falls under a certain genre is shit. All you can do is sift through shit until you find a decent nugget.
