Given the format of BASO it's inevitable that some readers will prefer reading about certain characters. Who do you prefer and why?It will be interesting to see how opinions may change as the story progresses.

I like Margo's storyline the best. It's just got so many interesting characters jam-packed into it, that it's almost unfair to compare it with the others. Stavlov's antagonistic relationship with Jonathon is fun to watch too, though.

I'm not surprised to read that, the others will come in their own later, well hopefully. Syavlov and Jonathons story is played a little too linear at present but it will change quite dramatically in a few chapters.
There are aspects of BASO I'm not happy with but I will work them and add to them in the hope i can make something out of them.
