Five Characters Everyone Loves But I Can’t Stand
I know hype is a thing but sometimes, people, I just get so confused over why the masses adore certian characters that I just can’t stand for one reason or another.
Take, for example, Celeana Fucking Sardothian from Throne of Glass. We are constantly told how amazing she is, but NEVER shown. Oh, and don’t forget that she’s SO tragically beautiful and beautifully tragic.
And Kestral from The Winner’s Curse? IT’S SO HARD TO BE A SLAVE BECAUSE I HAVE TO WANDER AROUND A BIG BEAUTIFUL HOUSE ALL DAY AND WASH SOME GUY’S FEET.
Arin from The Winner’s Crime is just EW. He is just THE RUDEST. He is such an asshole, and sexual harassment is NOT sexy.
Christian Grey from 50 Shades of Grey. Similarly, rape is NOT sexy, you assface. I’ll fucking cut you.
Augustus Waters from The Fault in Our Stars. You’re not cool with your metaphorical cigarettes, you’re just a hipster douche.

I completely agree with Celaena! Literally one of the most irritating people I’ve ever read about. But… I kind of liked Augustus and I feel like that’s an unpopular opinion in the book world.
