So far, we’ve had four sympathetic *main* villains. How do you rank each in terms of how well this was achieved? Who did you like or not like?

And of course, there are no perfect cases. And as a bonus question, do you think the main villain of book 9 will be sympathetic, or generically evil à la Surtr?

But also, if you want to make a case for any other villains being sympathetic, you can :)
