desertvixen | Eve Dallas musings (Reply)

So I've been listening to my collection of Eve Dallas on CD. I picked up Born in Death, unabridged on CD for under ten bucks, so that's the one up now. And I've been thinking.

Eve is a relative of Mary Sue. I don't think anyone disputes this. I mean, I love the books, and the characters are fab, but... Mary Sue alarms. The books, however, are well-done enough that I don't mind, and because Eve is getting rid of some of her issues in a logical pattern.

However, I don't think she's NR's actual character insertion.

I think that's supposed to be Dr. Mira. The closest thing Eve has to a mother figure. She gets to get inside everyone's head, and she usually provides Eve with needed shoves.

Any thoughts?
