Stil doesn’t have to be so distraught about coming in fourth…the only hero from his universe to beat him is the elf king. And really, who could compete with that?!

Also, YAY Solus! He and Kit are one of my favorite couples, probably tied with Emerys and Quinn. But Solid likes to hide in plain sight too much. Kinda like Alexei, another of my favorite people.

Thanks for all the great heroes, Kitty. Looking forward to as many more as you can dream up!

Solus comes 3rd. Kitty you have to write a retha book this year. Please.

I feel like I should just note that of the current front runners (Merlin, Emerys, Solus Miles, Stil, and Farrin) all have blue or grey eyes and all but Merlin have black hair. To clarify, I don’t think that actually means anything or impacts their positions in the vote, it’s just kind of interesting the way that is turning out.

I voted as well, and I would love to see both Solus and Emerys beat Stil!!! The Hero Poll interview from last year was hilarious to read, especially since Stil was sulking through most of it because he didn’t win. Hopefully Emerys has gotten better at shape shifting.

Hey Kitty, if Solus Miles places in the top three in the hero poll can we get book 4 of the second age of Retha released in 2019? Not that I’m not excited for the Fairy Tale Enchantress Angelique series because I love everything you write but I am super bummed that we are going to have to wait an ENTIRE YEAR for the last two books in the series.

My top people are: Farrin, Freidrich, Emerys, and Stil. Emerys and Stil are really funny and Farrin and Freidrich are protectors! I love them sooooo much!

Voted! Personally, I want Farrin to win. Then I want Rakel to win the Heroine Poll (presuming it’s going to happen this year). … And both of them to win the possible Couples Poll. You can tell I like the Snow Queen books! 😜

But if there was an option for second, third and forth places, I’d want (in this order): Isaia, Fritz and Alexsei (or Stil).

What about you guys? Who did you vote for/want to win?

Emery and Stil. Hard for me to choose.

Oh NO! Farrin is dropping behind!!! I want him to win so much! But Emerys is pretty cool and so is Merlin. I’m crossing my fingers for a three way tie! XD

Merlin takes the lead! Closely followed by Solus and Emerys, racing neck and neck, with Still just behind! Who will win? Stay tuned to find out!

Yay, the hero poll has begun!! ;))))

Say, Kitty, is there a “favorite secondary characters” or “favorite side characters” poll? Or a favorite couples poll? Because there’s some guys here that, while I dont swoon over them personally, I love the dynamic they have with their girl!

Megan

Wow, that was hard! I voted for everyone I voted for last year, and then chewed my nails over how to spend my last two votes! Stil had better look out – as of this moment, he’s almost tied with Solus, and Emerys is leading them both!

It’s just too difficult to choose! I do really like characters like Steffen who don’t get many votes, but you have so-o-o many others, that since I have to narrow my choices down to only five? Ach! I try to look for those heroes who seem to grow the most through the story.

Faith

Yay, the voting begins!!
I would love if Steffan didn’t get almost last place again though. X) Gabi and Steffan are so awesome. I know he messes up sometimes, but Steffan’s just such a great character. He’s hilariously, entertainingly distinctive but human, flawed but still someone you can stand behind. His interactions with his family are just hilarious, and his character arc and growth over time has been, dare I say, brilliant, and almost beautiful to see. It’s my favorite! I love the dazzling, usually poll popular guys as much as the next girl, and I voted for for them! But, you know. Not all amazing guy characters have to be so… swoony, haha. I feel like Severin’s underrated too, but the fact that Steffan has been pretty much bottom two since this poll was born makes me incredibly sad. Like, dang, that’s rough. 🙁 It’s always hard to pick because I love so many of them, but I feel like Steffan deserves so much better. So please, I appeal to thee: if thou hath any love for the Kronprince of Arcainia, if you could spare him a vote for his honor I would appreciate it. 😉

Honestly, this choice just gets harder every year. Though I’ll admit Farrin is still my first pick every year.

I had to include the Montamos brothers, because they made me laugh more than any other hero you’ve written, but other than that I really like the sweet guys who are always there for the girls. Like Solus, Alexei, Benjimir (Even if it takes him some learning on how to be sweet), Callan, Isaia, etc. Although with Isaia there were moments where I dearly wished to smash his impossible head against a wall! Even though Benjimir was an unpleasant character in Red Rope of Fate, I started to love him the first time he stood up for Fyn at their wedding. It pained me for Fyn to be so blind to the fact that his affections weren’t an act. And then Solus just makes me absolutely melt! I loved how offended he got when Kit started musing aloud about why he is such a lone wolf.

Has it really been a year since Merlin beat out Still? Also, I did vote for Solus, but he’s ahead of everyone and I feel like he might have an advantage with those who are solely A M Sohma fans.
