Since the Oscars are just around the corner, it seems only fair that the Book Devouring Horde hold their own awards ceremony.
Andrea donated some extra-long purple shag carpet and Steve said any machine is a smoke machine if he operates it, so the ceremony part is clearly handled.
We just need you to pick the most beloved winners. Polls will stay open until next Friday and I’ve tried (operative word) to enable multiple options. You should be able to choose two answers in these, the most impossible of choices. Mwahaha!

Loading ...But Mod R, there’s only one leading man from the Edge! So much squandered hunkiness! Yes, he’s my favourite, I love him the best, and this is my poll *phhhrrrrbttt*.
Now it’s your turn to nominate:
Suppose you wake up in an Ilona Andrews world* the way Maggie does in This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me: cold, confused, and very much alone. The protagonists are busy saving the day, so they’re not available to help you. Which supporting character do you go looking for first?
*Because the Innkeeper world is our world, we’ll mix it up and have you waking up in Baha-char, with nothing on you, not even a sneaker to trade the muckrats.
And if you can’t wait to find out how Maggie handled the world of her favourite series, reminder that the first chapters of This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me are currently running as a serial over at Reactor Magazine and are available as an extended preview for readers served by the US edition.
Take care out there, BDH!
Love this
First award! 😉
If I landed in Baha-char, I would look for a space chicken to lead me to First Scholar Thek. I’d have to name-drop Dina to be seen, I’m sure but I expect the thought of his world be fiction in my world would intrigue the First Scholar enough to render aid.
With luck, I’d visit the Inn and have some of Orro’s donuts.
*being fiction. Oy
Wow! +1000. I’m really impressed with your answer.
That is an incredibly smart answer! I’d copy this idea. I doubt I could come up with a better one
This! Brilliant answer!
100%
If I woke up in Kate Daniels land, I think I would go to Dali. She’s empathetic and gets shit done. Don’t mess with the white tiger.
+1
👍
I like this answer.
I’d look for a certain Kuillonian with a Red Cleaver rating because first of all FOOD.
This was exactly my thought!
I’m also going to tag along with Kristen.
Same! And as we are now a horde (small “h”), we would likely be even more intriguing, and thus more likely to get help!
I would definitely go looking for the First Scholar of the Koo-ko, as going to see any of the Merchants would COST! And Wilmos is rather werewolf biased.
I love your answer and am tagging along as well since what my coffee fasting brain isnot functioning.
Brilliant answer!
Great answer! I am going to do what you said.
+1 Great reasoning!
Brilliant! I agree 100% and am tagging along. Especially for the donut
Wow. Great answer from an obviously brilliant BDH member. I, too, am compelled to bow to Kristen’s genius!
Fantastic idea!
Kirsten’s plan for the win!!
Yep. Only I’d want the lemon muffins.
I think Kirsten has it correct! First Scholar Thek would be the most likely to listen to you and give you initial help, then follow up by providing introductions to other supporting characters. BRAVO Kirsten!
LOVE THIS!
Dayum, what a great answer! I’ll tag along with Kirsten, in this case!
not only First, but I am tagging along with you to the scholar.
yeap, this was my first thought, find the first scholar, and go from there.
They probably won’t throw you out, at least not until they debate, so have a good debatable reason for them assisting you ready.
This is brilliant!! My vote goes to you
Hello! First?
Ah so close
Fun!
I think if I were dumped in the IA worlds, I would go find Barabas and Christopher Steed!
Good Choice !
Barabas was literally my first thought!! Though I’d stuck in Baja char the above answer would definitely be my go to as well! Happy book release March everyone!
+1
I think I would want to ask Caldenia for suggestions on what is going on and who is who…. Can she come to Baha-char? Maybe we could speak through the doorway… I am sure she would tell me which meat tastes the best.
For Kate Daniels – I would choose Luther
that was my thought, too!
Definitely agree. I’d choose Luther as well. As a strictly human, approaching the Pack with Jim in charge would get me nowhere, the People would be too dangerous and icky, the Order would lock me up in the vault or kill me, and the Guild would expect payment. Luther tends to believe odd things and he’d be intrigued. Then he’d take me to meet Kate!
Yes! This was my first thought!
Yes, that’s who I immediately thought of!
I was thinking Luther too! Especially since he can connect me to the secret stronghold, I’m also curious where he gets his wardrobe. He seems like he has the best connections for a poor lost reader.
I probably wouldn’t last very long because I have priorities, but Orro. I would absolutely, 100% seek out Orro. If I’m going to die (which would probably be inevitable on Baha Char) at least I’d be full of deliciousness.
Runner up would be Sophie, for a better chance of survival. But I still want one of those donuts.
Yes!! I’m with you on this one! Plus, I might get to see the magical inn.
100% agreement. Or priorities are perfectly fine!
In Baha Char I’d look for Cookie of course! He might not help me, but all the fluffy cuteness would definitely make me feel better about things.
Yes! He’s cute AND he can haggle with the best of them!
Ok if I’m waking up in Baha Char, and you didn’t say it but I have to stay in the IK world I would go straight to Cookie. It’s a good place to start.
If I could, from Baha Char go to other “earth” dimensions I would head over to KD and look for Derek.
If I wake up in Baha-char, I want to find Jovo!
Orro…ya know, priorities (feed me).
Facts lol
If I had nothing to trade in Baha Char but a good story and information knowing I needed protection, clothes and to feel safe? I would find Wilmos. There is a puppy for comfort… a father figure who is gruff but loyal? Yes. That is where I would go.
Same! We can name drop Dina and Sean if needed.
ditto
Wilmos for sure
Same here. Wilma’s is always helping people.
Yep, Wilmos and his shop would be my first stop!
If I’m in Baha-char, I’m looking for Cookie!
He’s an up and coming merchant, so he has the power to help me, but I think he’s still down to earth (not earth?) enough to have a small bit of compassion. He will trade me for a favor.
Wilmos!
Definitely Wilmos.
Mod R!!!! I think Ilona’s ways of leaving us with impossible-to-answer questions are rubbing off on you 😂 Loved the poll, and thank you for providing much-needed humor and cheer. My fellow BDH members, I’m counting on you to raise Sean Evans’ score!!!
If I wake up in Baha-char, I will find a way to Luther, because he will always arrive when he means to, never too early nor late 😉
Derek or Roman in Atlanta
In Houston…..probably Augustine….because with a sob story, he’d get me to Catalina!
I helped out with Sean Evan’s score (-;
Here’s my list – which came together very fast, which was kinda surprising. I must have already had this ready somewhere in my subconscious. Always prepared.
Caldenia
Arabella
Derek
Bug
Mod R – you are ALWAYS so much fun. Thank you!!!
Caldenia?!!? She eats people!
Love the character… not sure I’d want to meet her in person. At least without an appropriate bribe of yoo-hoo and funions!
If I landed in Baha- char I would look for Cookie or Wimos
+1 agree! We don’t know them as well as Kate and Curran or Nevada and Rogan, but Ada and Elias give me similar vibes and could become new favorite characters.
yay! what a great prelude to a weekend!
Pre-coffee, I nominate: Andea, Meemaw, Bern, and Conlan.
I also really loved Ada and Elias from The Inheritance.
I want to wake up at Gertrude Hunt and Couki will be my go to helper!
Although, if I wake up in Houston, Grandma Frieda is the GOAT!
Trying to wait patiently (oh who’s kidding who, I’m not waiting patiently I’m tapping fingers sitting on the edge of my seat…) for This World……and now there appear to be many beautiful choices coming…….
*raises hand* Excuse Me…excuse me… Where is Adaline Moore and The Inheritance?
I think I’d go and look for Helen, she’s got main character personality in a small, vicious yet still adorable supporting character body.
If I woke up in the Kate Daniel’s series, I’d go to Derek or Barabas for help. If it was innkeeper, I’d go to Caledonia. The Edge is Gaston for me 🙂 but he is kind of a main character too.
Oh and I can’t forget the space chicken scholar!
Wilmos,,,,, creator and savior of werewolves
Arabella Baylor is my pick.
I totally don’t understand why others don’t immediately go for Arabella. I mean, she can solve ALL the problems and keep it quiet, too. Clothes, food, entertainment, helpful pointers that don’t get in your face, all taken care of. Most importantly, safety is NOT an issue.
The is Adaline erasure and I will not stand for it! 😂
I’d go looking for Wilmos in Baha-Char, in the hopes that I could convince him to help me talk to Dina, because if I have a chance to be a guest at the Inn, I’m doing everything I can to make that happen.
I looooved this. I could be a nuisance to the poll and vote for everyone but I did pick only two each time, which was taxing.
To answer Mod R very compelling question, if I had the great pleasure to wake up in Post Shift Atlanta, I’d go to the Order and annoy Nick to immense lengths, probably avoid getting killed by a tiny hair after spewing all the facts I have on everyone he cares about. That or wander to the Oracle of the Witches but yeah, I doubt they’d see me THAT easily, where the Order is just what I would need.
In Kate Daniel’s – Doolittle because he’ll fix me right up, hide me from Jim and give me tea flavoured honey.
In Hidden Legacy – Lenora Jordan, because she’ll put things right and give me legal protection needed to get right
Yes! Doolittle in KD world.
Agree – Doolittle in Kate Daniel’s world. He’s seen stuff, he’s experienced stuff and he’s come out the other side with grounding wisdom. Plus the actor at Graphic Audio, for me, truly brings him to life.
ooh Doolittle is a great call!
I nominate Sophie Mar. I think she would help me, and protect me, and pull in George and Jack to assist.
Barabas to uphold Kate!
So fun, thank you.
I think, the first, had the best answer.
Kirsten, The First awardee.
I *was* going to say Cookie. But I realized that wasn’t quite right. I’m finding the great Nuan Cee because he’s the one with a heart for the lost. I’ll get better deals for my information from him.
This is what I was thinking. Nuan Cee would value our information and have many resources and some compassion to help. (We’d just need to be careful to not trade our intel too low and to hold lots in reserve).
Grandma Frieda. She is compassionate, no-nonsense, and would be willing to help another momma in need! She is also hilarious and I adore her.
if I woke up in Kate Daniels world – i would look for Roman.
this is the correct answer.
Absolutely
Leon, without a doubt.
Nevada Baylor. I could tell her the truth, and she’d both believe me and try to help. The space chicken would be a great backup plan though.
If I awoke up in Kate’s Atlanta, I’d go to the library. There’s information there, and they will help you find it.
I want to find Cornelius Harrison. He has all the pets, and I would need to snuggle them.
#priorities
+1
I am going to find Wilmos first. Trying to find Dina and Sean, please and thank you…. Oh my! Safety with the werewolves. Barring that gentleman, I want to find cookie.
Nuan Couki
If I woke up naked in Baha-char, it would have to be in the alley where Dina’s inn has its doorway. My supporting character would be Gertrude Hunt itself, because I don’t have the skill to steal a blanket or other rag to cover myself long enough to go hunting for someone else. I think Gertrude Hunt would take pity on me and let me in.
Excellent answer and definitely its own character!!!
Fabulous answer!
If I woke up in Atlanta, I’d seek out Luther. Consistent good guy with the best connections to make sense of this and help me / help me help the MCs.
In Hidden Legacy, I’d still go to the Baylor’s. Leon and Bern would appreciate the sheer outlandishness of the story / the very interesting data and (possibly after confirmation by Nevada that it’s true) would be 100% behind using this information to help their family.
Baha Char without means is difficult – possibly Wilmos, but I liked the suggestion of the first scholar a lot, that I read in one of the comments.
If I wake up naked anywhere I’m just going to die of mortification.
No searching for a hero. No searching for donuts. I’m just going to lay there and die.
True, very true.
You and me both sister!
And this was a LAUGHED OUT LOUD, answer! thank you!
I’d try find Penelope and Grandma Frida! Parent power is a wonderful thing!
This is so interesting, with all the different perspectives! I would like more Luther, though.
Hmmmm. So many great answers. However, I think I’m going to have to go with my beloved Gaston. We can have all the adventures, hang at the Inn. Plus he seems to be up on ALLL the gossip. If anyone can traverse the mythical Ilonaverse, it would be Gaston. 🙂
However, knowing my luck it would end up being me and Steve chaotically careening from mishap to mishap.
I think I would go to Robert the wererat alpha. He knows all the good hiding places, he has connections and he’s brave and smart.
I would look for Gaston. Flair, contacts and capability. Plus he‘s on Orro‘s good side.
I’d look for the First Scholar. He would have all the answers!
Definitely Andrea if she’s available!
if I landed in Baha Char, I’ll look for Wilmos.
Happy Friday
I would look for Derek. At least I could see him before I died, which, in my case, would happen quickly!
If I woke up in Kate’s world, I would go looking for Martha. She has honey muffins. Also, she’s a terminator when people she knows are sitting up on a hospital roof with carnivorous unicorns are out to get you. If Martha wasn’t available, I would look for Andrea. Shooting dominoes at a 1000 yards…yep, I would want to get to know her. 🤣
If I woke up on Baha-Char, I would blame Steve for the smoking machine. 🤣 I would go looking for Chef Adri, or one of the Nuan clan. If none of them could help me, I would also go looking for a philosophical space chicken.
If I woke up in Houston (Hidden Legacy style), I would need a fan quick. It’s too hot and humid to wake up with no clothes. I would try to find Runa. She can poison people if needed.
I’d look for Andrea. First, she can protect me with her guns in times of tech and in her beast form in times of magic. Then she’d take me to Kate, who could use her magic to hopefully get me home. And if she couldn’t get me home, then she could introduce me to Luther who would recognize my snark and give me a job. And I wouldn’t mind Andrea introducing me to a nice, single, good-looking shifter of the non-bouda variety. Boudas are too high maintenance for me.
In the Kate Daniels world I would go looking for Andrea first
Lamar, for sure. A brilliant strategist is definitely what that type of situation calls for!
Hmmmm if I woke up in Baha- char, I’d try to find Koo-ko the space chicken 😁 I’m pretty sure they would help me and I could find their place more easily than the others ><
In Baha-Char, maybe Cookie would see my potential and help me?
Cornelius would save me!
Hidden Legacy – hands down I’m looking for Cornelius. Hidden Legacy could also describe our favourite Dashing Male Secretary/incognito Prime.
Kate Daniels – who wouldn’t like to get to know Roman better? I’m sure he could help, right Mod R?
Innkeeper – I’d go to First Scholar Thek. He’s the only one likely to accept my knowledge in trade for assistance.
Also, I just got an email from OwlCrate about their April Adult Fantasy book! It’s Maggie, it’s Maggie!! I’m so not chalant!
I first thought of Derek, but I think he must be cured of saving damsels in distress. So maybe Gaston instead? I did briefly think it’d be fun to contact Leon, but I’m not too sure about his judgment.
Which supporting character do I go looking for first?
I would say Leo Martinez, the Vice-Guildmaster of Cold Chaos. He seems to have a finger on all the pulses and the experience not to dismiss me as a crazy person.
That’s what I was thinking! In KD, Martha or Luther or Roman. Maybe Roman’s Mom?
I’m in Kates world, I think I go look for Roman, he is a big softie
If I wake up in Baha Char, I’ll look for Cookie… then when I find him, have to find a way to convince him that a future favor from me will be worth him helping me.
I’d go to Cookie, try to barter myself into getting to Getrude Hunt, and then from there (after tasting Orro’s cooking and trying to get some good recipes), ask for help getting home, because my cats need to be fed.
The feline overlords make no exceptions for isekai adventures. Dinner time is scared.
If I woke up in Post-Shift Atlanta as a human in distress, I’d head for Barabas, however I could, and offer to be a research assistant for him. Is he still in charge of the books for the Mercs?
Helen, Maud’s daughter. The girl is brilliant, likely to be understanding of weird circumstances, knows a lot of about different worlds, knows about betrayal but also friendships. She is in good with the muckrats. She can fight. She is sneaky, clever and knows how to evaluate, think on her own and survive. She might be able to find clothing, but not care if I don’t have any either.
Since I landed in Baha Char with no clothes, etc. I have information to trade so:
First Scholar Shrek
Cookie (he needs to impress his uncle & clan with new info and he’d find it “fun” and he’s so fluffy and cute!)
And in my information trading, arrange to get assistance getting to:
Klaus — I have information & might get recruited
Gaston — adventures, travel, maybe get to go to the INN, and “skulduggery”
Oh this is a brilliant tactic! Information would be a very good trade item!
Andrea Nash from Kate’s world. She’ll help me and get word to Kate or Julie Lennart-Olsen (aka Aurelia Ryder). I’m sure to get help from these amazing women.
Love this, thank you for always preparing fun activities for us!
If I was stranded in an IA world, my immediate thought is to get help from an arbitrator. While George is extremely capable and kind, I think I’d like to seek out Claus, one – because he’s totally my type and two – I’m dying to know more about him!
Getting in touch with an arbitrator would be interesting though. I might have to journey my way to Casa Feliz somehow (since I can only interact with side characters…)
Mod R –
1st – pick only two???
so hard!
2nd – so wicked of you and fun
3rd – thank you this is brilliant
I would seek out Grandma Freda definitely.
Oh I love that question!
Ehm, first one to come to mind is Leon, for some reason. I know there are other heavy hitters out there that might seem like a more logical choice, but first of all, he’d make me laugh, which is priceless in such a situation; secondly, he would be utterly unfazed by finding himself in Baha Char, meaning he’d be up for joining in on a fun excursion while it lasts; and thirdly he’s a Baylor, so picking him would guarantee the whole clan would show up to rescue us, success guaranteed.
Andrea
KD world – Luthor Dillon – He’s got an office (easy to find) and I suspect we’d hit it off with a similar sense of humor. Besides, I want to work for Biohazzard when I grow up.
HL world – Matilda Harrison – she knows everybody.
Baha-char – Cookie, of course.
I had an immediate idea of who I’d look for and then I read the comments. Way too many good options!!
I’m going to look for Derek.
If I woke up in Kate’s world, I’d look for Barbaras and Christopher. If I woke up in Baha-char, I would look for Wilmos. If I woke up in Houston, I’d go for Grandma Frida or Sgt. Teddy.
Ooh this is a fun exercise in IA book knowledge! Here’s my immediate plans if I woke up in various IA worlds:
Kate Daniels (Shift Atlanta)- Straight to the Order of Merciful Aid and Nick. First, they would have to help me if I request protection, and I think Nick would have kittens over the idea that the faith of the BDH meant that I traveled to this universe (probably through some flare weirdness tbh).
Innkeeper Chronicles (Baha-Char)- I would seek out First Scholar Thek, impress him with my philosophy knowledge (gotta put that philosophy undergraduate degree to use somewhere) then politely ask to be put into contact with an ad-hal or innkeeper from Earth to a) get me home and b) figure out what physics-magic weirdness got me here in the first place. Hopefully cool adventures are abound and somebody needs an intergalactic lawyer.
Hidden Legacy (Houston)- I would go to Lenora Jordan or the Record Keepers to figure out which family’s powers could get me here. Also, selfishly, I would want to know what families would be Houses in my neck of the woods (and if they would be names I recognize a la the rubber band theory Nevada and Leon talk about).
I love this. it’s insightful, knowledgeable, and made me laugh.
Aww thank you! <3
What I would want to happen:
“Stories! Stories! I have many stories to tell”
“Come, nice naked lady and tell us your stories and we will pay you so much money that you can build your own business as a knowledge broker to rival all others!”
“As long as I make enough for some clothes, damn it!”
What would probably happen:
“Hey, look at that naked old lady!”
“Who you calling old, dumb alien? I am a mature woman knowing many things. Take me to your knowledge brokers. Even if they are UFO Chickens. Or furball-turning weapons dealers. Or even cute foxy killers.”
“Hey, look at that naked old crazy lady!
Then they’d take me to the Baha-Char Loony Bin.
Hm. Missed some of my favorite IA leads from the Kinsman Universe in the polls. So …
I‘d have to go for waking up – naked, but probably not cold – in the city of New Delphi, in Dahlia Province, on the Planet Rada.
It’s savage, but also a lush and vibrant world. I would want (eventually) to ogle the fantastical architecture, dive into the bionet, visit the Terraces for passion cones and pink wine and the provinces for the dahlias, and to grill, eat orange cherries, chase purple fireflies, and witness the star flowers blooming in the light of the moons.
Of course, to do all that, I‘d have to survive. So I‘d look up Nadira Baena, Matias‘ aunt. She‘s quick to help, brilliant, decisive and smiles like a silver shark. Who could ask for a better ally?
p.s. Anyoneelse finding it hard to pick best male or female character? I find that it all depends one which series I am stuck on at the time. I love everybody. Sigh
Yep!
Agree! Hence I couldn’t bring myself to vote.
In Baha-char I would seek Wilmos, hoping not to sent me to the greater beyond ,in some suicide mission, but to return me home!!
In KD universe, I would choose between Luther and Barabas, whomever I could find first!!!
I agree with the Scholar Thek group as a first choice and then I would have to go with Leo and Cold Chaos.
I’d go looking for Andrea. Girl has all the guns lol
I think I would look for Roman or Jack. They would probably not bother with a normal distressed person, but I would definitely like to believe my not normal story would get either of them curious enough to chase down the thread until they solved the puzzle.
I would look for Orro mentor to lead me to Orro so I can get into the inn. I guess worse case there is Cookie. In general if I was in Kate Daniels I want Andrea on my side
Well, now that Roman has his own story, I can’t choose him. 🙁
Maybe Teddy Jo
I would go find Cookie Cee. He’s young and hungry to prove himself and has already show he’s resourceful. And I feel like I would be less indebted to him than Nuan Cee since he’s not the head honcho.
Dina, the carebear 😉
I think I’d go looking for Beau Clayton, he’s an helpful fella!
Or Grandma Frida, armed with huge puppy eyes
In Baha-char I would want First Scholar Thek. In any other realm I would want Maud or Leon.
Office Marais & his wife: because they can cope with anything!
yes!!!
At first I thought Gaston, but then I decided Officer Marais because he’s a cop and “protect & serve” is on the job description.
plus he could take me to Gertrude Hunt and I’d get to eat Orro’s awesome food. 😋
Duh – I’m looking for Her Grace, Caldenia (and hoping for some snacks and other goodies from Orro!!) As one other side character mentioned, I wanna sit by her side and be her apprentice!!
I’m going to look for Arabella. She’s capable and seems to be able to roll with chaos.
What a fun question! If I’m waking up in Kate Daniels’ world? At first I thought Luther. I think he’d definitely be helpful, but I think the better choice is Roman.
Arabella – she isn’t a main character – yet. Only a full novel counts, yes?
She’s compassionate, can argue like lawyer, packs a punch and her face gets her anywhere. If she was once to the Inn no one could stop her from shopping at Baha-char where I could find her sipping bubble tea with the drifan of Green mountain. They met at the yarn store where she got some very special yarn for Grandma Frida – it doesn’t tangle – ever! That was after brokering a weapon’s deal between Wilmos and Duncan.
I’d be looking for Bern! Thinking practically, I’m going to need a realistic identity and paperwork, and Bern is good at hacking, so I imagine he could make that happen. Plus, he has all the PI skills and connections to high powered people.
Thank you for so much goodness! The first answer is the smartest move but I worry I wouldn’t be able to keep a straight face if his hat wasn’t on straight so I hope he isn’t rushed when I get to see The First Scholar.
Brian Rodriguez of Casa Feliz, of course!
I’d find Roman. he’s a priest. he a grumpy one to be sure but he has connections and I bet would be willing to help. there is also a big chance that wayOd be able to meet a lot of my favorite people as well! and you never know my intuitionatbe built on a little magic.
I’d find the door to the Inn and wait for Dina and Sean to open it up. Then ask for help. Or find Wilmos and beg for a job so I could live until Dina or Sean came in then ask for help to get home.
If I was dropped in one of the IA worlds, I’d hope it would be the Innkeeper’s world. I would love to have the help of Her Grace, Caldenia ka ret Magren. Simply the choice of Funyuns and Mello Yellow are great indicators of taste and true intelligence. She appreciates the delicate use of gossip as an aided benefit in understanding the dynamics in her present community. With her worldview and her personal experiences, I am quite sure I’d die a heroic death😂
Hmm – which character would I go to for support if I end up naked, cold and alone in one of the worlds …???
Well, Arabella … but she is not really a secondary character. So …
… Roman?
… If I have enough money, Augustine?
… Conlan?
… Gaston? Jack? … not George … heaven forbid!
George would get all of us into trouble. 🤦♀️
Then he would have to explain to Sophie.
love them all but had to go with the first characters I read by Ilona Andrews and that is KATE , CURRAN… they are still my favs!
side character: Leon, he doesn’t get enough LOVE
I am believer in strategy. Orro first. We will use the enticing aromas from his food to lure in Caldenia, Cookie, Wilmos, Luther, Derek, Roman, Christopher Steed, Hugh, Elara, space chickens, the Hopecrushing Horde, Bug, Runa, Bern, Leon, etc. It will be only minutes before I have an unstoppable military! Besides, there’s some chicken I need to try!
Mod R, I wasn’t thinking when I entered my name. Can it be adjusted to just Thio?
Thank you!
I have to agree if in Baha char, it would be The First Scholar. My story would give me currency. Then I would be off to the Inn
If my main concern is getting out alive I would strongly consider picking Hugh ….. but he’s such as asshole and I am sure I would end up wanting to stab him in his sleep even if he was helping.
I think I would pick Maud. Especially since we are on Baha Char. The more I think about it she would probably be a better pick all things considered even if it wasn’t Baha Char. I think she might be better trained and possibly more experienced in survival skills and definitely more skilled in diplomacy and gaining allies.
It occurred to me that both my picks evolved from side characters to being main characters in their own books. so aren’t eligible picks ::face palm::
I pick George. He might even be the superior pick to Maud actually.
If I wake up in Hidden Legacy, I’ll probably go look for Garen Schaffer, because he would know I’m telling the truth 🙂
If I wake up in Kate Daniels world, I would ask for help from any Order Knight I could find 🙂
Oh, I’d look for Cookie, up and coming, hungry to make his mark, I think I could trade information for help with him.
Orro, because he will feed me.
OR (because we get 2 choices)
Officer Marais, because he will take care of me!
+1 to officer Marais!
George 😎
Going for Erra. she means business and is doing a lot behind the scenes these days protecting humanity.
U.S.
Rebekah the Original– because my name is the biblical spelling but people are always saying “what a weird way to spell Rebecca.”
Horde Daniels, because I’m hoping Kate and Curran might be open to a Sister Wives situation. 🙂
Have you met Kate????!!!! 🤔
lol, too true!
The only right person to find is Nevada baylor because she is the only one who will know you’re telling the truth and not crazy 😭… except wait we know from the murderer she confronted as the lady in green that if someone believes it’s true it reads true … so we are screwed haha
Innkeeper: On Baha-char I’d definitely look for Cookie but I’d be very very careful what I traded for help.
Kate’s World: Andrea
Inheritance: Leo or maybe Jackson
Hidden Legacy: Leon or Penelope
If I’m on Baha-char, I need Cookie!
Andrea of course, and I would tell her all about it!
My first instinct said DO NOT find Nuan Cee!!!!! I think I’d go find Gorvar. Lots of ear and tummy scratches later, he could protect me, help me find food and introduce me to Wilmos as a possible janitor. A job with in a place with mercenaries would probably be safe. I could meet Dina and Sean when they came to replenish defensive supplies for Gertrude Hunt, and let them know I started in Texas just up the road from Austin – I might get home and still be offered lemon muffins!!!!
Love this!! Me, too!!
Except in Houston, near the Office of Records on Fannin Street, which is only a couple hours drive from Austin really….
Wilmos!!!
I would go straight to Wilmos because he understands losing one’s home world.
I’m gonna leave a comment now before I absolutely fail to pick just 2 favorites.. SIGHHH.. How are supposed to choose just 2?? Can’t we just choose all??
Back to the mental anguish..
Dali! Because she might be curious enough to help. Then we could drag race together.
After her, Roman. Because Roman.
After him, the combined team of Arabella/Bern/Leon because they get sh*t done.
I’m out here looking for Luther. And hoping my genes don’t freak out when the magic hits 🤣
I’d wake up in post-shift Atlanta, and go bother Luther. I’d tell him my story, and have him lick me. Hopefully I have some really cool magic, and hopefully he believes me and doesn’t lock me up in an asylum…
Find Nuan Cee and ask for help getting to George. He’ll solve all my problems!
im going looking for chuckles, what else does one do but go looking for the most beloved kicking mammoth donkey, teaching street taggers a lesson few teeth at a time 🤣
darn auto correct, Cuddles* n9t chuckles. smh
If I were lost in the IloAnderVerse, I would go looking for Dr. Doolittle, or Arabella. I think either of them would be willing to listen to my situation and help. Dr. Doolittle may not believe me, and might think I’m crazy but that would just make him want to help even more.
If I landed in Baha Char, I would go find Wilmos. Most useful non-primary character who would also be the most likely to hear me out and/or offer assistance or info to someone down on their luck but knowledgeable and brave (you’d have to be brave to not simply sit down and give up upon suddenly finding yourself in an alien world).
going to have to turn on my bdh badge
I cant place Steve of the smoke machine Mod R referenced?!?
Steve is from the blog, not the books, and basically after a first mention by Ilona in the blog about what a BDH fandom afternoon tea would look like (yes, utter chaos indeed) the BDH more or less adopted fictional Steve as The Instigator of Shenanigans as well as a universal scapegoat of “it wasn’t us fluffy BDH folks, it was Steve who dunnit!” 😉
The smoke machine being a perfect example of the kind of shenanigans we can blame on,I mean expect from, Steve 😇
https://ilona-andrews.com/blog/fandom-tea-party-2/
Don’t know if I’m allowed to post links, might not, but this was The First Mention of Steve 😉
That line about any machine being a smoke machine in his hands is perfection. Thank you for that, ModR; it made my day, though I didn’t have time to comment.
thank you!
I’d head over to HL and look for Cornelius. It would be fun to hang out with an animal mage. 😊
I could’ve voted for 2 options? Aw man, too late. I couldn’t resist selecting the buttons before reading the instruction.
I would choose Andrea as my supporting character! I would need her emotional support and her gun smarts would be helpful I reckon….
I haven’t read the first chapters of TKWNKM yet, is it obvious? I won’t be able to without developing a lot of angst for the rest of it, I become way too emotionally invested in HA’s worlds. I have to read the whole book when I get it >.<
Thanks Mod R for the fun quiz! Beau Clayton in the Kate Daniels world and Cornelius Harrison in Hidden Legacy.
Not entirely sure why, bit the first thought on landing in Kate Daniels world was “Luther! Find Luther!”
Grandma Frida – she seems like a badass with a marshmallow heart
Dabrowski, Romans neighbor. He’ll turn me into fertilizer. The flu has got me in its claws. Fertilizer for Romans messed up yard, my final aim in life 😣
Feel better soon!
Thank you! On the mend now.
Excellent!
How dare you. HOW DARE YOU!!
I am NOT OKAY.
Never again will I participate in such a grossly unfair and down-right disloyal attempt at entertainment!!!!
All of those character are beloved and adored, cherished and respected by their BDH and we should NEVER AGAIN attempt to rate them like fleeting contestants in a low budget reality tv show. They are priceless and eternal in their narrative and in our hearts!
But it was fun to see so many names of characters I love and think about how fun it would be to have them all at Dina’s for a giant Andrews family holiday or something.
You guys write good people, who sometimes don’t do good stuff but usually do for good reasons.
Rant over. Excited for Maggie. Thanks for writing this blog!! Love it.
Oh and I would probably want to find Augustine, he would find a use for me in some way and hopefully Arabella would be around and would take pity on me.
Arabella of course!
If I landed in Baha-char, I would try to find the local Arbitrators and send a message to George. He would be the best to take advantage of my knowledge, and as long as I could help him he would help me.
I think it is highly likely tlhat the Arbitrators maintain a major branch in Baha-char, so I really like this idea.
Michael. I’m very curious about…Michael, Man of Mystery
Ada and Bear 🙂
Ada is heading there and as Sadrin will be superbly placed to help me out. Plus Bear, enough said.
+1
Best actors in a supporting role – Rose and William.
If I woke up in Baha-Char, I would try to find Cookie and negociate a safe passage to Dina’s Inn in exchange for information about the clan of lees appearing in The Inheritance.
As for Kate Daniel’s universe, depending on the time of my landing (in wich book), I would either try to see Barabas at the guild or maybe Andrea. They are easy to find and I can provide them with information in exchange for food and safety.
If I woke up alone and bewildered in the Hidden Legacy world, I’d probably go looking for Grandma Frida. She might not help but she would listen.
I’m kidnapping the nearest Lees and taking one to Cornelius as a bribe in return for being allowed to coo at the space tigers, obviously. My second choice would be Ascanio because I CAN TOTALLY FIX HIM.
Karion – I am sure nothing would get past him and with me being a civilian it would be the polite thing to do to offer me aid. Dalia’s customs would surely work in my favour here, right?
+1
Yea! Another Kinsmen aficionado!
Best supporting character: George
I’d look for the entrance to the Inn, and knock on the “door”, then I’d ask Dina or Sean how to rent a room, and once I’ve got that, I’d go back out to explore.
Uh, that’s a difficult question.
I would say, it’s Dali in the KD World or Julie 🙂
On the other hand, a chat with Grandma Frida would give me comfort.
I definitely feel like reading the KD series again 😉. Thank you Mod R for your excellent work on the blog and humor ❤️
Lady Augustine de Ney!
Julie is on the list of leading ladies but Derek is not on the list of leading men. He would def get one of my votes!
I would go to George. He would be very likely to believe me about different dimensions etc and he would be able to help or find someone to help.
Something’s up with the web page. I select two and try to click on “vote” and nothing happens. I tried selecting one and voting, then three….nothing happens.
Just for fun I clicked on “View results” as well and nothing.
Almost 5000 people voted, so the web page works 🙂 . The issue is likely with your cache, please clear it and try again.
George of course!
Nuan Cee! Cookie is all well & good, but he’s got nothing of the experience of Nuan Cee! I would keep a sharp eye out for Officer Marais, that’s for sure, if a bit of a long shot.
Roman!
Arabella Baylor. The Baylor’s consistently demonstrate a willingness to adopt strays with a disregard for common sense akin to pulling a feral kitten from the engine block of a stalled Bronco.
After Orro, I would pick Arabella too!
After my one pick, I would pick Arabella too!
If I wake up in Baha-char I will find Kristen because she had the best answer and she will really know what a predicament we are in.
Kate daniels world, probably try to find Roman first, for his connections to the witches, and his story isn’t finished yet, so I could take more of an active role.
I’d look for Clan Nuan Ce, specifically Cookie. I’ve read the Innkeeper Chronicles so many times…there must be something there worth some help/protection, lol. Knowledge as currency just like Maggie.
I would look for Oreo, because food equals survival!
Orro
I just got the email this morning & all the votes are closed. I never get to vote.
The votes are not closed, the polls are set for next Friday, as explained in the text 🙂 23 people voted since you left the comment. Please clear your cache and try again.
I want George Caramine as my helper. Smart. quick, gorgeous, and hell on wheels in a fight.
If I ended up in Baha-char I’d hope to find Maud. She is such a bad ass and would take care of any baddies around. Love Maud! Cookie would be a close second…he’s such a negotiator!
Hidden Legacy World. Grandma Frida would help.
The Little Lees from Inheritance❣️
Arabella. I’ll ask her to find me the perfect disguiseImeanclothing, then we’ll smash our way through from there
Of the male supporting characters, going to go with Luther or Dolittle, because they are scientists and unlikely to be thrown off balance by a naked woman, although at my age it’s probably not the issue it once would have been. Barabbas and Christopher, same.
Of the female supporting characters, the ones I would generally choose keep getting made into MCs. At this point, Andora and Arabella still qualify – barely – so I’m going with whichever of them takes longer to make MC status.
The Little Lees from Inheritance❣️He would take me to his clan to help me get to the inn and they wouldn’t mind that I had no clothes🤭
Jovo. My choice too
Hmmm. Since Sanctuary and he made the Poll Roman is no longer a Secondary Character right? This is HARD lol! One of the best features of House Andrews is the strength of the Secondary Characters! There are so many choices but today I pick Luther!
only one issue from me. I need, NEED an “All” button in these kinds of polls. Do you even know what choosing between these characters does to me? The cruelty is positively sublime. I am impressed.
I think I’d seek out Conlan Lennart. He may be young, but he’s kind and a quick learner, plus he combines genes from Kate and Curran.
If I were isekai’ed in Baha-char, I will run to Her Grace Caldenia ka ret Magren and offer my services as her lady in waiting! I will be an invisible helper at her beck and call. It will be a *cush* job since Gertrude does all the housekeeping including laundry, and Orro, all the cooking. All I have to do is help Her Grace with any thing too trivial she need not be concerned about. And if Her Grace permits it, “tend” her prized tomatoes with Gertrude Hunt.
My services will free up Dina from going to the store for funyuns and mello-yellows. I can run to Baha-Char for Her Grace’s shopping, etc.
Most advantageous of all, I will have the best seat as a spectator to all the things happening!
I would love this experience- just no truck-kun please!!
Omg, I SO want to be Caldenia’s Lady Danbury! Tomatoes and goss!
There might be side characters I enjoy reading about better but for who I would go to & trust (relatively) to actually help and look out for me?
Arabella or Dolittle
If I woke up in KD, I’d go find Luther. I think we’d get along, because I’d want to learn from him. And he’d protect me, hopefully.
I love Al your books. I am currently rereading Kate’s series. Thank you for your
Innkeeper books. I love that series also.
Just thank you for your work as my favorite author.
I’m also with Kristen!
If I was in the Hidden Legacy world, I’d absolutely try to find Arabella. Cheating? She’s not the lead yet… But if it didn’t work, and she would be busy saving the world, I’d find Bernard. Bernard and Runa could easily get me out of any trouble.
I’m going to find Wilmos. He’s a sucker for a sad story. He’ll deliver me to Dina’s door. I’ll get some advice from Her Grace.
Ok, I’m really struggling to remember who Steve is and why he’d run the smoke machine
Yep! Count me in with Kristen too! Couldn’t have chosen better (donuts too)
Thank you, ModR, for these wonderful creative diversion on a Friday. Truly grateful!
Thank you, Ilona and Gordon, for sharing your creative spirit with us and gifting us a whole slew of fully developed main and supporting characters we can relate to! The diversity of each of these kick butt females is extraordinary in their own way!
Thank you fellow Horde members for sharing your creativity as well!
May this little corner of the interweb be always a safe haven.
May we all find peace, health and safety in these ‘interesting’ times.
Aargh. The results will not show up for me. Oh, well, I know Kate and Curran are the bestest.
I would call on her bestie Andrea of course
Kristen has it, best one to help.
Fun!
I would go looking for Derek.
George, as a bonus I’d get Sophie because she wouldn’t let him go alone. So I’d have brains and danger on my side. Just sit back and watch George manipulate and scheme our way to safety and victory as Sophie levels the field.
Such fun
Kate’s world, I’m looking for Luther for badass t-shirt sourcing tips.
HL I am looking for Penelope, although this was close and I almost went with Grandma Frida – the clincher for me is that Penelope wouldn’t turn Rynda away when she came looking for help, but Grandma Frida would have. Mom energy for the win either way. To be fair, I am definitely not a threat to any of her grandchildren’s relationships, so there wouldn’t be that conflict of interest, but I just feel like Penelope has a slight edge in overall compassion that would be helpful in the situation.
Innkeeper, waking up on Baha-char, gotta go with space chickens as previously mentioned; getting in with the First Scholar will lead to all the goodies.
Inheritance I would go looking for Tia because she can assess me and will know I’m for real and let me snuggle with Bear (even though I’m a cat person, I would need Bear snuggles) while she explains to her mom that the strange lady is in a really weird situation and needs help.
Wow! I loved this post and everyone’s answers. This is why this community of the BDH is so fun. So many of us have creative imaginations. I certainly can’t top any of the suggestions, and agree with most!
My list of different supporting characters I would go to for help, gut response.
Caledania- she would be intrigued
Derek- heart of gold
George- high IQ, still compassionate ( pre Innkeeper crossover…I probably couldn’t find him unless he wanted to be found in the Innkeeper verse.)
Bernard- He ( or Bug) would already know I was there anyways…
Thanks for the fun! Great answers fellow BDH peeps!
Oh! I forgot Baha-char itself!
I would Definitely go the the Lees! If I am going to get roped in for an indenture, or some other huge favor in trade for help, at least there would be cuteness!
Clan Nuan Ce and Cookie that lil’ rascal!
The German Shepherd Bear because I’d be freaking out in Baha-char or anywhere outside of this world. But a dog could help, especially a super dog!
so far favorite series is Innkeeper and favorite book is Inheritance and yet my favorite heroine is oddly Nevada Baylor and Favorite hero Sean Evans, now how is that? Dont make me pick between Matilda and Helen that’s just beyond my ability! I think perhaps because an over all book or series is more than a single character or book. hmm also love kate daniels and the edge books as well, but if you make me pick, well other characters make an appearance. something to ponder I suppose!
If I woke up on Baha-char I’d be heading for Wilmos’ shop to get a sense of ‘when are we in the timeline’ and because he knows Many People. It never hurts to get a werewolf on your side! If Wilmos isn’t available, it’s time to hunt for Nuan Couki to trade knowledge of the events in The Inheritance for help getting home; surely Cookie could get me to another Inn so I could safely get home from there!
Waking up without means in Baha-Char I would go looking for Wilmos. Older, had raised children and knows how to look after others with an extra-what-dimensional? gate. Could help me find Seraphina. Rest and Silence finally.
It really was hard to choose for the contest. You make all the males and females so strong and they know what they want. I love your stories. Thank you for having such great imagination and you writing skills with descriptions are out of this world It’s easy to pretend you are there in the story
If I wake up in the Kate Daniels world, I’d find Barnabas and Christopher. If I woke up in the hidden legacy world I’m tracking down Cornelius or, depending on the situation, Leon.
that was hard to pick. love them all
Wilmos. He would be kind and help.
I hated to choose just one to vote for, they are all my favorites!
Well, I’m not magic, so there’s an immediate disadvantage. I’m reasonably smart and very good at research and analysis, and tech things. These gifts can be useful in a lot of fields even without magic.
I really only want to visit these worlds, not live in them. So first thing, I would get to Wilmos and try to get to Dina, who is on earth, thus getting back to my home planet. If I could pull that off, I’d call my brother in the Dallas area to come get me.
Once I got home, I would post on this site complaining about being snatched out of my comfy home and away from my sweet husband and dumped in a magic environment with nothing. Meanies!
If I was actually stuck in that world, I would still try to connect with Dina to find out how I could use my skills to support a business or House of some sort. I like eating and living indoors.
BTW, y’all would not leave me with no clothing in Baha Char. Guaranteed you would get a hella expensive fine for littering. Little old ladies are kinda scary, naked. Just sayin’!
I have to go with Roman. He is such a softie at heart and he might be able to persuade his Momma to use her magic to send me home (after divulging my many secrets, of course).
If I wake up in Baha-char I’d head for Wilmos and get directions for the Inn even is Dina is unavailable I might convince her Grace to help me out. At the very least Orro might make me something delicious. Either way, the Inn sounds to me to be a good place to start.
Ooh, if I wound up in Baha-char I would look for Cookie! He is ‘in the know’ everywhere, has the trading, bartering down pat and is so darn cute I’d be running my fingers along his fur!
Just stumbled upon your work. The blurb for “Beast Business” appealed to me, but due to a quirk in my personality I cannot jump into a series in the middle, so I went back and started the Hidden Legacy series from the beginning. I binged, then jumped to the Edge, then the Innkeeper Chronicles. I was avoiding Kate Daniels, because once I start that series I will be immersed for weeks. In any case, I’m a fan now, so I am signing up to receive whatever you care to send in email form.
Welcome to the BDH. You have chosen wisely. lol
Warmest welcome! You will have so much fun with Kate 😀
Rejoice! The Horde expands!
Plan ahead for your first read of KD- vacation week, food laid in that can b eaten w one hand, as the other will b holding your reading device of choice. Sleeping between books…
And a welcoming horde, here for u…
I have to agree with looking up First Scholar Thek. I assume I would have to debate my way into his good graces and a change of clothes. And yes once that is taken care of the the only thing I really want to do is to finagle my way into Orro’s kitchen in time for desert.
For Kate Daniels, I would pick Luther.
truly if I woke up in one of your stories I’d go looking for MII and prime Montgomery
The beast of Cologne.
Or Derek.
Arabella at House Baylor Investigations! She has an office so I could make an appointment and approach without getting smashed and she’s into foreign fantasies and may be open-minded about the situation.
Mod R. I can’t seem to find the “All of the Above” button for either vote. Each and every one is awesome in their own way.
The question said Baha Char. I’d go to Wilmos, tell him I’m looking for Dina.
If I were to wake up in Baha -Char with nothing, I think I would try to find Wilmos. He would be able to outfit me. I would owe him a favor, but, hey, you only live once!
If I woke up in the KD universe I would go find Roman. He’s reasonable, powerful, and willing to help.
If I woke up in the Hidden Legacy Universe I would find the members of House Harrison. They have stalwart morals. I would feel safe in their care. Also they have cats.
Grandma Frieda
We definitely need some “Best Supporting” because George, Gaston, Orro, Caldenia, Arabella,Helen and soooo many others need the kudos! 😉
KD/AR- Luther, admittedly, he’d have to lick me, but then he’d realize I’m not from there and be so intrigued he’d help a girl out.
Edge: Secretly believe we already live there therefor does not apply.
Bahachar: Clan Nuan, they’d be easy to find and the cost may be unexpected but we could come to some deal… that I may regret later. But that’s Tomorrow Kathryn’s problem.
Hidden Legacy: Scroll Inc’s local HQ. Will pipette and do data entry for help. also see Luther comments, I am a genetic oddity there.
Kinsmen: I don’t need help, just passion cones.
Breach Wars: Well clearly not the Sophont hiding government…
Alphas: Chernobog help me, I’d probably be dead before I realized it.
If we can mix and match series, I would want Kate to show up and whisk me away to some place safe (like Dina’s inn!) Would really foul up the story line, but you said we could pick who we wanted. LOL
Sorry, I didn’t retain that we were looking for secondary characters. Is Roman some what a secondary character? I guess not since he has had his own story to tell. So, I guess I could depend on Jim (prior to taking over the pack) to help me find some place safe to stay. Which might even be pack headquarters. But I would really like to get to the Inn–custom rooms, gorgeous facilities, top of the line security, and excellent food! And a cute dog!
I would find Orro and beg him to make me a meal.
Innkeeper: I would find George, because he would know how to fix it.
Inheritance: I would find Bear so that the bestest dog could take me to Ada for protection.
Hmm…I think I’d want to wake up with an Inn close by. None of the protagonists need to be there, but I would love to go to Gertrude Hunt!
In KD I’d look for Barbaras or Julie – they could get me to Kate, who doesn’t know it yet, but will be my bestie alongside Andrea.
In HL, I’d look for Arabella, she is a quick thinker and can get me access to Nevada who would be able to validate my story!
If I was dropped in Atlanta, Baranas is my go to. Smart, non nonsense and knows all the players.
When in Baha – char, Wilmos is my man. He has lots of nice big guns to help keep me safe until I can get to Gertrude Hunt.
Barabas. I will happily leave auto correct in this world.
Pardon the incorrect name. . I will happily leave auto correct in this world.
I would look for Kate. She’s easy to find (ex: the kraken incident), always willing to help, and knowledgeable enough to do so. If anyone could get me home or give me a purpose and a way to survive in this new world, it would be her. Plus I’d get to pet a mammoth and a baby prehistoric rhino and meet the helpful Narra.
Kirsten has the answer – I go with her.
I would find Wilmos. I think I might convince him to help me find the the portal to Gertrude Hunt. I bet he has a token to use to gain entrance. or at least knows how contact Sean and Dina.
Andrea. I want Andrea to find me, help me, keep me safe. Like as if I was a bouda. Because I am so going to be taken out on page effing 1 without her 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Andrea!!! Where you at grl????
Somehow find Arland, and bribe him with some coffee to get me to Dina!
😉
Julie deserves moree votess, she is great as a character 😭❤️ and I hope Derek gets a spot in the futureee🤞🏻 I’m still waiting for their book.
+1
I guess I’d look to George (The Edge/Innkeeper series)
Me naked and alone in Baha Char is surely the contravention of numerous laws, including common decency.
And he’s so good with sword!
And so pretty!
And George would know how to get me to Gertrude Hunt. After a lengthy stay there, including tea with Her Grace and munching on Orro’s delicious desserts, I guess I’d HAVE to go home. (Dang!)
This was hard— I changed my mind several times. Basically, the heroine or hero whose story I’m reading is my favorite
I will admit that I have thought about transmigrating into one of Ilona Andrews worlds many many times and as much as I love the Kate Daniel series I would not survive in that world. I am also not smart enough for the Hidden Legacy world. The only one I would feel some what hopeful in is the Earth side of Innkeeper. I would love to meet Orro and try one of his donuts or anything really. I would love to be a guest and just be an observer. Again, I would only survive if I stayed in the Earth side. Maybe I could befriend Officer Marais help him if I could get one of those special baton.
All the other worlds I will just enjoy them from the safety of my reading nook. 🥰
Today is my birthday and I had been saving reading the preview of Maggie as a present to myself 🙂
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!
Thank you House Andrews – I am spinning in circles, arms in the air, squealing and yahooing 🙂
Very fun! So many positive things I could say, but the time change just happened, it morning n too early. I hope to see more from any and all characters in the hidden legacy series!
Has to go to Kate & Curran imo, just because we have more material with them so we see a more of their character (the transformation of Curran is just chefs kiss, he cannot be topped for me)
Rogan & Dina are my runner ups!
I would go find Dina. She knows everyone and quite a few people owe her favors. Especially the arbitrators. Get r done.
Oopps, missed the secondary character part. Time change has messed with my reading ability.
Okay, I would have to go with Wilmos to protect me and get me to Dina for help.
In Hidden Legacy I would look for Cornelius – he is approachable, has his secrets, and listens – where was Augustine has his secrets and would be very “put out” if you hinted that you knew any of them…. and might not make it through the scenes
In Kate, I’d pick Luthor – who probably with his wizard magic could see that I’m not from around there but curious enough to see where it runs.
I agree with someone else’s assessment for Thek in Baha Char
In Kinsmen – I would go with the Davenports, as Haider has proven to be a critical thinker and willing to take a moment to listen too.
If I were to wake up confused and empty handed, naked and afraid, in the hidden legacy world I’d go looking for Grandma Frida.
maud
but GEORGE.
at least Roman lol
Space Chickens!
Derek!
Officer Marais. He would know there was someone in trouble and go help… and he has seen a lot weirdness
honestly, he also just seems like a very standup guy
I would seek Her Grace, Caldenia ka ret Magren, Letere Olivione
I think I’d go looking for Wilmos, he’s connected, he’s safe and definitely I’d go to him if troubles are after me.
In the KD world- I’ll definitely go look for Kate because despite her hard exterior she’s definitely a softie. Also, wherever Kate is, Curran will be so I’ll definitely be getting the 2 for 1 special
Look, no Declan option is evil for the edge xD
I also love William – the damaged child, fixed moral compass, combined with the whole “loving with all your heart thing” gets me every time.
I had to wait a long time, however my husband is a Willam and was very well worth the wait.
If I woke up in the Hidden Legacy world, I would go to Cornelius Harrison. He is very responsible, does the right thing, and there are so many pets to play with! I feel he would be compassionate to my plight.
If I woke up in the Edge, I would go to Rose’s Grandma. She strikes me as a lady who gets stuff done.
If I woke up in the Innkeeper world, I’m pretty sure Caledonia would be my go to. A crafty mind like hers would be all kinds of help. If she can help fend off the Draziri without ever leaving the Inn, I’m sure helping me out when I arrived without anything to my name would be child’s play.
If I woke up in Hidden Legacy world, I would go to Mrs. Rogan. She is extremely wise and kind and seems like she would be helpful.
