My sister just finished reading The Dark Highlander by Karen Marie Moning. She had high praise about the book and because we got to talking about the books, I asked her the same question that I always ask people after they’ve read these books.

Drustan or Dageus?

Now, I know that there are other MacKeltars that we meet in the series but I’m not here to ask you which MacKeltar you know and love because what’s not to love about Cian? That man is sex on a stick but I want you guys to choose between the twins.

Drustan or Dageus?

So that’s my question that I’m putting to you guys today. My sister is Team Drustan all the way because she thought he was the better hero. Why? I’m gonna let you Drustan fans try to persuade me that Drustan was the better hero. I’m leading the bandwagon for Team Dageus.

For me, Dageus showed me everything that I love in a tortured hero. Yes, he was the dark highlander who broke the Druid rules, he disappeared because he was too ashamed of what he did and he couldn’t face his family but he never once regretted it. In doing what he did, he saved his brother. He saved his brother and he doomed himself.

All for love.

Dageus is the darker brother, he’s the harder brother. He battles evil every single day and yet, he hasn’t turned evil himself. You might think that he did but he’s got a heart bigger than anyone you’ll ever meet.

My heart went out to Dageus at the end of Drustan’s story when I read that letter that he left behind and as much as I love Drustan (you guys will still have to tell me why Drustan is the man for you if you vote for him) and I did, he wasn’t the better hero in my opinion.

Dageus gave up his life so that Drustan can have a shot at his. To me, that ultimate sacrifice is what will always put Dageus before Drustan in my book.

So let’s see those Drustan fans come out and show me why you think that Drustan is the better MacKeltar hero. Let’s see those votes….
