Day 15: Favorite Male Character
Day 16: Favorite Female Charcter
I’m putting these together because my pick is both and neither at the same time.
The Gestalt (The Rook by Daniel O’Malley)
I first saw Gestalt in the tv show adaptation of the same name and Gestalt was so different from any other character I have ever encountered anywhere that I was immediatly mesmerized and had to read the book.
Gestalt is one mind in four bodies (3 male, 1 female) that can work independently but see and experience everything all of the bodies experience at the same time. It’s quite mind boggling and hard to explain. No wonder Gestalt is a useful spy and enforcer for the agency he works for. Sadly the book isn’t written from its POV so we only get glimpses of Gestalt.
It is so weird seeing Gestalt (in the tv show) with all four bodies at home getting ready and having to remind yourself that Gestalt is still alone there. I’ve attached the video with this scene for beanies viewing pleasure.
As a side note Gestalt is German for shape/figure or guise. I find this name quite fitting for such a unique character.
