Does anyone else not like Jace?

[Danielle]

I enjoy the books but Jace is definitely my least favorite of the main characters. He's too angry and broody for my taste.

PLEASE don't get in a cyber-fight. No need for 'furtile's and 'Excuse Me's. Can we give our opinion nicely? Its obvious that you dissagree.

Ok, just don't end up hating each other at the end, if you don't already.

oh man did I just read "How could anyone not like him? He's hot!" I don't understand this shallowness.

It's so funny how people will jump to defend a fictional character just because they have a crush on him. I don't even jump down someone's throat like this when they say they don't like my actual boyfriend.

Not to be random or out of place but Jace is a jerk compared to Will (From the Inferno Devices series). Will has a reason to push people away but Jace does it because he's "wounded".

I find the reasoning for Will's jerkiness is a touch flimsy and it seems like she realized she'd be called on his similarity to Jace to she made up a fairly simply excuse for him to act just like Jace without actually being like him.

Don't get me wrong, in the scene that described it I was moved and I do like Will and it's not even that I hated Jace, I liked him fine for the first three books, I just feel like a lot of Clare's writing is pretty transparent.

But that's my own problem, obviously she's doing well for herself judging by the rabid fans, it's my own fault to be expecting a higher level of maturity so I can like her stories as much as I want to.

I got to admit that CC isn't the best authors, all her characters are similar, especially between Draco (from her Harry Potter fanfcition), Jace and Will. I can clearly see the hormones affecting the way the characters express themselves, they are still teenagers and act like them despite the fact that they kill things...
I think this is a disadvantage, many readers dislike and often get irritated at such immature and slang in books...

Oh I meant maturity in the writing itself, I usually kinda like the teenagers acting like teenagers. I meant maturity in that the situations come up organically, clever solutions to possible plot holes etc. Will's backstory seems like an awfully convenient excuse to write a Jace carbon copy.

I so agree with this. but i also can see why others would see him as selfish and a jerk.

[Amanda]

WHAT?????? I THINK I MAY HAVE FAINTED AND FALLEN OFF MY CHAIR!!! How could you NOT like Jace! He's amazingly gorgeous with some of the greatest come back I can hear! Yes, he can very well be very full of himself, but that's also what made him sometimes funny....and annoying. But after reading most of the series, just waiting for City Of Heavenly Fire to come out witch seems like ages!- He's grown on me in that sexy, cute, funny, strong, kick ass way.:P

I still don't see why people like him. I mean come on, Simon is TOTALLY fun and loving and WAY better than him

[Stéphanie]

Ok u tottly agree with this. Simon is so better. but i still love Jace.

I didn't really like jace I thought he was a weak characther. He fell prey to many things very easy, which bothered me, because he is supposed to be tough. I also found him to be annoying and boring at the same time. I think I liked Simon more, because I could understand him and put myself into his shoes.
