I thought the girls in Diamond Age were well done...as girls and teens. He sort of loses Nell there at the end as she transitions from girl to leader of the world's most powerful army...not an easy thing to pull off.
But her character lacks any of the complexity that, say, the old soldier that she lives with for a while has. He's barely in the thing and has depth, complexity, and is a fascinating dude. Nell is just a sponge: she learns and applies as needed, and that's about it. So maybe she's not quite as developed as I like to believe.--------------------------------- Taken out of context I must seem so strange - Ani DiFranco[ Parent ]
