Looking for recommendations in any genre, I just like sci-fi/fantasy. I have a thing for characters who lead FOR their people. I’ve read through the Cosmere twice and I just finished the Red Rising series. Expansive worlds, interesting and tangible magic systems are all cool, but what really gets me is compassionate and empathetic characters.
**Maybe spoilers in my examples?**
Bridge Four follows Kaladin because he loves each of them and has an undying compulsion to protect them (and that he has trauma but no less worthy 🤌).
The Howlers follow Sevro because he sees them as friends and equals, not inferiors and degenerates (also as degenerates a bastards but in a punk rock sorta way 🤘).
Wayne’s whole thing is he can’t help but put himself in other people’s shoes (or hats).
Honor, dignity, and kindness
