Complex characters develop over the course of the story when they react to situations, such as in the book Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore (my summer reading novel) Saf shows his real feeling towards Bitterblue even though he tries to cover them up because he's mad at her for lying in the quote "...said a third voice that made Bitterblue want to cry out again, for it was Saf." (295 Cashore). This is right after Saf helps her survive after an attack and fights against her pursuers. This explains the complexity of her relationship with Saf. This also shows in his interactions with Bitterblue's friends in asking if they need any help protecting her. This also advances the plot by adding another layer to the complicated plot, which is Bitterblue's relationship with Saf.
My article is about all the problems that Bitterblue faces as Queen in a way that also incorporates the other two books in the series. It also explains the similarities in the three novels in the series. The Bitterblue review article also explains the writing and good story-telling parts of writing.
Your book sounds really cool. All of these actions that the characters do, make the book have more spice.
