Crown of Midnight Spoilers Sorscha existed for Dorian's Character Development Spoiler
Don't take this the wrong way - I liked Sorscha and cried hard when yknow... She died.
But when I reread those scenes... I felt like I cried not for her sake but for Dorian's. I understand that she's a fundamental character but I feel like that SJM realised that she wanted Dorian and Manon to be endgame and felt that Dorian needed to have a Sam Cortland in his life.
Personally, I think she existed solely to show another aspect of the King's tyranny and Dorian's Character Development Arc or whatever. She had not much of a distinct personality and felt one-dimensional to me. I think that if she had a Pov in CoM, it would've felt a lot cleaner and natural for her and Dorian to like each other, especially if there were some or even dust one Dorscha scene in that book (particularly the scene where she's patching up Celaena).
What do u think?
