This week’s musing asks…
Do you prefer character-driven stories, or plot-driven stories?
My answer...
This is a tough one because I think you need a good mixture of both. If I have to choose, I guess I'd pick character-driven stories. I love getting to know characters. Since I read many series books, I often read and get to know many of the same characters for years. As with most series, not all books in a series are good but I'll still read it to re-visit some of my favorite characters. When you read series, they almost become old friends.

I say we don't have to choose. I demand them both!! lol
ReplyDeleteI agree both is essential for a good book!
ReplyDeleteSo true, Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteI think both are important to a story. Check out my full answer for this weeks musing Here.
ReplyDeleteI agree. No matter how great the character, the plot has to move the story along.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Yvonne. I think that a good combination of both is important. You do make a good point about series books though--series books are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteHave to agree, combo! Nice to meed you (waves)

Both is perfect but my choice is the plot. I love the thriller/mystery genre so plot is important, if the character(s) are memorable that is a bonus.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think a good book needs both. If I had to choose, though, I'd probably pick characters.
ReplyDeleteIf an author is a great plotter, I'm hooked. Yes, I adore great characters and will stick with a weakly plotted series because of one or two great characters, but ultimately if the plots are cliché or repetitive I lose interest.
ReplyDeleteA great plot makes me think and I love the challenge. That's what brings me back.
OKAY, this little guy is making me queasy just watching him...LOL
ReplyDeleteI like a mixture of both....
