Reply to comment by HunterRoze in Understanding Abercrombie's character hype by Aplakka

He for sure is unpredictable, like ending the second book in the trilogy with most of the book being a waste of time (some of it was useful in the third book though).

I just don't understand what's the deal with everyone hyping the characters: What are the factors that make the characters awesome?

They are unique and do not follow well-established tropes for their roles.

That's true. Maybe I'm not giving enough credit for that. Or maybe I kind of thought of the trope subversion etc. as a part of the plot or worldbuilding, but it is a significant part of the characters too.
