Funny you should mention Ryan (spoilers) I wasn't really sold on Lamb until I heard the first debate tape; Ryan does one of his brilliant and disturbing speeches that perfectly outlines his ethos and then Lamb hits back with something just as effective that runs right over his. I'm not sure if she'll be as interesting as Ryan but I am giving her a chance now.

Yeah, i was skeptical about the idea of playing one of the most powerful creature from the first game, too. For the same reasons. But they pulled the trick of making you play that sort of strong but yet subtly crippled Big Daddy. It almost feels like you're a decayed, broken version of the grunt titans of the first one. Considering how rotten Rapture looks now, that would be a nice idea.
I'm still early in the game to get where the story will go (especially thinking how the original turned upside down in the middle), but Sophia Land seems like the sarker side of the Ayn Rand inspiration that's behind the game. Where Ryan was an arrogant but genial idealist, she's a dominant spiteful and steely (and vaguely communist) antagonist.
To clarify SPOILERWHITE
She doesnt seem like the type who will order you to kill her just to prove a point
