Character descriptions site? (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I have a pretty bad memory when it comes to remembering the appearances of characters in books, usually because it’s mentioned once or twice and then mostly just briefly throughout the book again.

I was wondering if anyone knew a site that had like just the descriptions of characters from books, lifted from the text even without spoilers.

I’d like to start making notes going forward for myself when reading but I’m so far into The Way of Kings now that it’s quite difficult to backtrack for character descriptions.

Any help is much appreciated, don’t even know if what I’m looking for exists but it sounds super handy, to me anyway.

Cheers. ^^

I know this is a shit answer, but whenever I dive into a new book that I suspect will have loads of characters (looking at you fantasy epics), I tend to either highlight the first time a character comes along (if reading on the iPad) or takes notes myself.

Going forward I’m going to start doing it, I’m a little late now but future me will be happy.
