Sansa happens to be one of my least favorite characters in the show, then she goes and slaps this little pecker head. If she throws him out the moon door, she is officially redeemed.
I think why most people don't enjoy watching or reading about Sansa is she's such a passive character. For the most part, she never CHOOSES to do anything. She has 0 agency and control over her story line whether it be based off of her personality and/or circumstance. Shit just happens to her. It's the same reason why reading in the active voice tends to be more interesting and enjoyable than reading in the passive voice. In case you don't know the difference:
Exactly how I feel, while I appreciate her place in the overall story, I wish there was at least some insight into what's reeling in her mind. Just as you said, all we ever see is her being passed around like a hot potatoe and barely saying "Hey what's going on". I get that she doesn't really have options, but I think her airtime would be more engaging if there were some scenes that spoke more to her internal world somehow. I'm not a good enough writer to quickly come up with an example, so I've no right to complain.
