1) Sally and Gillian Owens (Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman) - These two ladies were not the witches I wanted. The writing style in this book make it really hard to connect with any of the characters, but I wanted to like them so much!
2) Nix (Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge) - From the beginning Nix and I just didn't get along. Most of the time she was too whiny and indecisive for me to like, I didn't trust the characters she did and overall it just didn't gel for me.
3) June (Legend by Marie Lu) - While I was reading Legend, I couldn't connect with June. I just could not understand her motives and why she did the things she did. Day worked a little better for me, but overall I didn't connect well to this book.
4) Jacob (Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children) - During the first half of this book, I really liked Jacob. Once we arrived on the island though, things really went down hill for me. Jacob seemed like a totally different character and I didn't like the decisions he was making.
5) Isabel the Shifter (Mistwood by Leah Cypess) - This character was so frustrating. I didn't click with her at all! Instead of being an interesting, mysterious character, I found her boring character without a lot of depth.
6) Trinity (Scorched by Mari Mancusi) - Too much love triangling to make me like this girl!
7) Dan Crawford (Asylum by Madeline Roux) - Dan is really paranoid and makes a lot of dumb decisions so most of the time I was just frustrated with him.
8) Tris Prior (Divergent by Veronica Roth) - I liked Tris. I really liked her. I just didn't really like her all the time. Sometimes I found it really hard to connect with her and found her to be too cold. Overall, I just didn't like her as much as most readers.
9) Cassie (Ice by Sarah Beth Durst) - This GIRL! GAH!
10) Rose (This One Summer by Mariko and Jillian Tamaki) - I don't have a good reason for this one either. Rose just wasn't a character I really enjoyed reading about. She was a typical teenager and I just had a time connecting with her.
Who did you have a hard time clicking with?

I think my biggest problem with Tris was that she became so whiny and indecisive in the second book. I felt like she had a big character shift. I guess some people really like her but she's middling in my list of YA heroines.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad so many people feel the same way! Before I felt like everyone loved Tris, but she did annoy me a lot. :D
DeleteI felt the same way about Tris and June - to be honest, I couldn't be bothered to finish either or these trilogies because I just didn't care about what happened to either of these characters.
ReplyDeleteI never finished the Legend trilogy. I just did not care about those characters at all!
DeleteI could see why you had those feelings about Tris. She annoyed me at times but others, I just forgave.

I've seen Tris show up a lot today but I haven't read the Divergent books yet so I have no opinion to contribute lol My TTT
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed them overall, especially the first two books, but Tris was just hard for me to like.
