(view spoiler)[I'm rereading the Inda series, and hoping to understand Signi. When I first read it as a late teen, I really didn't like her (probably a lot of misplaced "rooting" for Tdor). As an adult I think she is a very compelling character who, as Fnor put it, was too good for that pirate. I'm curious why she went to Iasca Leror and then stayed there even with her cold reception from Evred? It seems like even Inda ignores her! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Simple answer, at the time they met, both were emotionally damaged and love-starved. A bit longer answer, from her perspective, she had pretty much failed at life. Met someone who was as emotionally damaged. She knew it, he hadn't a clue. Tenderness at the right moment went two ways, and they fell in love, but for Inda, it was real at the time, but not permanent. She saw that, accepted it, but for her it was for life. So she consciously got what she could, and then made a graceful exit. (hide spoiler)]

PS Inda's series has everything I have been looking for in fantasy. I've been feeling let down by the 2D nature of supporting characters, tropes in place of backstory, or "gritty violence" (aka sexism) lately. Do you have any recommendations of other fantasy books for people looking for complex character-driven stories? The only comparable thing I've read lately is Joel Shepherd's A Trial of Blood & Steel. Thank you!!
