I come across a lot of characters I wish the author would just kill off in fantasy books- and more often the good ones than the evil ones.
My top pick for most annoying, most hated character:
Faile (WoT)! She's so obnoxious and she absolutely ruined Perrin.

Anyone else have any characters they hate?

Nyneave is up there. Personally, I'd like to tug those damn braids off and be done with it.

Little miss Cersei from Martin's series could use a few boots to the head.

And, so as not to appear sexist, Regal drove me nuts as well. I realize that was Hobb's intention, so I guess she did her job well.

Cersei, Littlefinger, Verin (annoys me no end, couldn't care less about possible mysterious past), Erik Von Darkmoor's stepmom (mangy bitch).

Hmm, I think it would have to be a toss-up
between Belgarion, C'Nedra, Polgara, and Silk from the Belgariad, but especially C'Nedra!! She was so dang whiny and annoying that I just wanted somebody to either kick her in the head or kill her.

By the way, I may not be psychic, but I believe I know what character Bardos is going to mention on this thread!! http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/smile.gif http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/smile.gif

Jimmy the hand... Squire James or whatever the hell he was called at the end, from the Magician series by Raymond Feist. The guy was just too smarmy for my taste. Someone should have clipped his hand off and ended his prissy "career" as a thief.

Ditto Faile. I mean I LOATHE her. HATE HATE her... !!! ugh! I also hated Egwene in books 3 through 8. But she's a little more palatable recently.

And also, Mirimiale from Tad Williams MST. She's the canker sore in an otherwise fantastic and amazing piece of work.

I think that's it, folks...

Of course this is just my opinion, but I didn't think Miriamelle was that bad.

Polgara! Also Belgarion and C'Nedra, but that Polgara really diminished my opinion of the series immensely.
