Feature and Follow Friday is an awesome blog-hop hosted by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read
This week's features are Book that Thing! and Laura @ Little Read Riding Hood this week's question is:
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.
This is a hard question, let me see… I can think of a few instances in which I was disappointed with a character:
Gabriel from Wither by Lauren DeStefano (just finished it, review coming next week). I just felt that we didn’t get to know him enough, that his character was not well developed.
Rebekkah from Graveminder by Melissa Marr. This is an adult book and I don’t feel like she was mature enough or that she knew her own mind half the time.
Pierce from Abandon by Meg Cabot. She turned out to be too whiny for my test. If I were given a second chance at life I would be thankful and try to make a difference!
Nash from the Soul Screamer series by Rachel Vincent. Oh Nash! I was so in love with you at the beginning, but you changed (for the worst I might say, even if not all his fault), I couldn’t help but change teams.
That’s all I can think of right now.
What characters disappointed you? Please leave a comment and a link so I can stop by :-)
I completely agree with you about Nash. I can't stand him.

I don't hate Nash or anything, but I can absolutely see where you all are coming from. I think the only reason why I don't HATE him is because I never really LIKED him as far as I remember. oô

I haven't had a chance to read those yet, I'll definitely be adding them to my TBR list! Check out my answer @ http://best-of-ya.blogspot.com/2012/04/feature-follow-friday-18.html. I'm a new follower by the way! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read either of these series yet, but plan on doing so.

I'm going to read Wither, I hope it's worth it since I do own it!

Thanks for commenting on my FF!
I couldn’t agree with you more about Gabriel from Wither! I felt like in the book I was supposed to like him, but oddly enough, I really liked Linden more. Even though he was part of this world she hated and he had Cecily and the baby too, I just really wanted him to be the male hero rather than Gabriel. I just find his character boring!

I agree with Gabriel and Pierce. Soul screamers, I haven't read yet, but its high on my TBR list. It's sad to see one of the characters change in a bad way. Hopefully I don't feel the same way once I read them.

I have heard people fell out of love with Nash in the fourth book. :/ I haven't read it yet, but it's on my list to get to. I have liked him so far. :)
