Hmm, I think Connelly's characterizations are terrific; to
me, he's a master of what I think of as "on the fly"
characterization, that is a rather dramatic type of
characterization that manifests in what the characters do and
say. He does tend to get bogged down in pondering/
philosophizing or whatever ("A Darkness more than night"
suffered from this IMO), but in terms just of letting the
characters' actions speak for themselves, I think he's a
master.
I haven't read all his books but "Angels Flight" was the
first I read and still my favorite.
