However, as an evil character overall, he was very well done. They were each wonderfully wicked. Dillard was my least favorite simply because of some of the things he said that I could have done without.

The Bad Guys– There were a whole slew of bad guys! Like the Police Chief named Dillard, The General, “Santa Claus,” and all the little henchmen.

It was clear he didn’t love what he was involved in when we were first introduced to him. I also felt pretty bad for him and the situation he was in, though I loved that he vocalized his frustrations.

Vernon– A grouch that you couldn’t help but love! I really enjoyed his one liners and realism.

Wipi and Dipi– These two were so intriguing! I wanted to know more about their histories as soon as we met them!.

When we learned more about her history, I loved her even more! She also seemed so fun compared to the others.

Isabel– She was one of my favorites! I loved how open minded and positive she always was.I totally expected him to be nothing but terrifying, but he was surprisingly human-like he was a total emotional rollercoaster! I especially enjoyed his character in times when he was upbeat and happy, but also when he was ready to be terrible. But fate had something headed his way soon enough that would put him on the right path. All he wanted to do was prove himself and get his wife and daughter back.

He was a gifted musician that was down on his luck and struggled to believe in himself. Here are my thoughts on a handful of the characters:

I thought it was so clever that it was similar to a vampire relationship, complete with turning others into beings that Krampus himself could command. I was really interested in learning about the Belsnickels and their relationship to Krampus. The characters were so wonderful together! I loved seeing each of them interact with one another, no matter what type of situation they were in. For example, when Krampus was speaking to Jesse, he gave us a bunch of history in such an interesting way that really helped to get readers caught up to speed. The author did a great job explaining things. I loved how this story related back to Norse mythology! It was so interesting to see this fun twist on certain characters and what their dynamics with one another were in this instance.
