I recently finished a book (Dream Thief by Maggie Stiefvater – which I’ll review soon) and I’ve come to realise that maybe I get a tad too emotionally invested in books and their characters. It hasn’t only been with the two Raven Boys Series books but I have found a character in them that I loathe when I don’t think that’s what the author intended.

This character, Adam Parish is a rude, disrespectful character and I can’t seem to get past my feelings toward him in order to properly enjoy the story (although I’m not overly impressed by the books). I should probably wait to see how the series ends before I make a final judgement but it is the backbone of his personality that frustrates me and if he does change then I don’t think that would be believable.

Who else has a character that they hate when the book dictates that you shouldn’t?
