Q: Have you had a character that disappointed you? One that you fell in love with and then "broke up" with later on in either the series or a stand-alone book? Tell us about him or her.
A: Okay, I haven't completed the series, but the first person that came to mind for me was Brenna in Liz Reinhardt's Brenna Blixen series. She was awesome, witty and kickass...Then then Junk Miles (holy jeebus the arms...) happened and I wanted to bop her in the head until she stopped acting like a dummy. I hate when girl characters I admire start turning into people I shake my head at. However, I think she'll redeem herself in the last...I just need to read it. What about you all?
Edit: Wanted to clear up that this series is actually awesome! I love it even if I want to kick Brenna Blixen at times because the book makes me emotional for the characters. The series makes you care. So yes, it's a series to definitely check out!

ReplyDeleteI haven't read those books yet, but maybe I should? *scratches head* I never really feel like characters manage to redeem themselves, though, so maybe not.. XD

I am going to take Pree's commenting back...since I know she won't beat me..and plus I "know" you. I LOVED the series, but the main character is a bit of an idiot. The books definitely need read though. ;)
DeleteI feel horrible because I think I made the series sound bad, lol. It's actually definitely worth checking out because you feel so strongly for the characters!
DeleteNot a book I'm familiar with but I know how you feel about a character doing something you hate!

It's a book worth checking out if you're in the genre! It's a favorite of mine.
DeleteI haven't heard of the series but sounds like something I would be very annoyed at too!
ReplyDeleteYou should check the series out if you're into the contemporary YA genre. The characters are really well thought out IMO.
DeleteHaven't heard of that series, but might stay clear of it now as well!

ReplyDeleteMostly I was curious what you were ranting about... >.>
Also, your GFC is dead. *pokes it a bit*
Yeah, sometimes it's okay to hate a character so much that you want to hit them. It just means you're invested in the story!
