The Feruchemist Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Be honest guys. It doesn’t matter how good a writer is, there’s always that character you just don’t like. Mine is Elend. I was a little too happy when he got his head sheared off. Don’t get me wrong I have no qualms with Vin and Elend’s relationship, their romance makes sense. But his charm just seemed plastic to me. He reminded me of a guy I knew who tried too hard to impress people. Not sure if Brandon was going for that or not. I loved all the other characters. Just not Elend. Anyone else? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prelude Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Wayne. Most annoying. He feels cartoonish without being funny. To me. I doubt I finish the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vashakh Sadeas he/him Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 I hate Amaram. I can stand Sadeas and even his wife. Gaz. Any of the scum, but not Amaram. He makes me want to choke my pillow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farnsworth Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Zane. it's like Sanderson tried his hand at teen romance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordMoose he/him Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Form the Stormlight Archives: Sadeas' wife. And I dislike Allriane from Mistborn. WoR spoiler: Spoiler At first, it was Sadeas. Now finally this guy is dead... Alas, his wife has proven to be even more annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vogelsang he/him Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Sorry, but Jasnah really gets on my nerves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Characters I don't like: Jasnah. I discussed this at lenght in another thread, and good points came up, but I still don't like her much. Spook. His growth felt unnatural and undeserved. Lift can be too much at times, but I don't dislike her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raykoda Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hate, but in a good way: Moash, Sadeas, Amaram Just plain don't like: Zane, Raoden, Sarene, Siri, Vivenna Steris (yep, that's not controversial) and borderline Lift. Guess what my two least favourite books are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Allomantic Metalhead he/him Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Zane (glad that he got murdered by Vin), Amaram ("Killing an entire group of people that just saved my life and accusing them of treason is totally the right and honorable thing to do"), Steris at first (I actually started to like her more as the series progressed), Odium (of course, but it's not just the "Is a massive antagonist who kills gods out of a narcissistic desire to be the most powerful being in the Cosmere" thing, he's also a massive douche), Tindwyl the first time I listened to (I have audible) the Well of Ascension (second time around she was kind of okay), Sadeas is a total slimeball and probably doesn't even need to be on this list, Straff Venture (of course), Shallan's "Brightness Radiant" persona.

Kered he/him Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Same thing as Toaster said about Lift. I think sometimes she's a bit over the top goofy, and in my opinion this was prevalent in her most recent appearance. I get that it's a defense mechanism, she just needs to dial it back sometimes. Shallan. Sorry. It's hard for me to read her POV's when I'm more irritated than interested. Vivenna. I've done 2 re-reads of Warbreaker and I found myself just skimming her chapters. It's not that she was a badly written character, it was more of the fact that her inner turmoil was tedious to me. Moash. For me I never saw him as a friend to Kaladin. Through his dialogue it just seems like he's using Bridge Four to meet his own ends. He was always going against and talking back to Kaladin. But it's stated that Kaladin was closest to Moash out of everyone in Bridge Four because Moash didn't treat Kaladin differently. I never saw it, I just saw Moash being a brat.

Xaladin he/him Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Navani. She just represents everything I hate about women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kered he/him Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 1 hour ago, Xaladin said: Navani. She just represents everything I hate about women. I usually see Jasnah described this way. But I mostly agree. When she first starts interacting with Dalinar it was lightly hinted that she couldn't be trusted. We've learned diferently since then, but I could never shake the feeling that there's more than meets the eye with Navani, and it's most likely bad. Also, I don't like how her first instinct is to bully people. But, there is a few things that I do like about her. The first thing is that she doesn't care at all about social propriety, and only does when it suits her. The other is that I enjoy reading the parts where she goes full engineer, just as I like when Shallan goes full artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmernaut Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Elend Venture. I don’t know what it is about him but I read through his parts as fast as I can. Can’t stand him. Moash too. But that’s for more understandable reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeldancer he/him Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Felt. He has no character depth, and I swear just exists to fuel my never ending quest to find the renegade worldhopping hemalurgist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesh Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Do you mean that you don't like them as a person, or that they were just written poorly? 'Cause there is a difference... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herowannabe he/him Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Wayne, hands down. Wayne in AoL was funny and quirky. Wayne in SoS and BoM just became crass. Overly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
