Part of it is that you both have the knack for conveying the impact of body language in words, which I admire the hell out of because I'm not very good at it myself. But I think the greater part is that you can pinpoint the tensions within a character, the levers that move them and the forces that pull them in opposing directions. She approaches it differently, because she's telling the story rather than responding to it -- but that's what makes me dead curious to know what you would make of the Lymond Chronicles, because I think it would greatly reward the way you appreciate character.
