On Jace

Hey :) yeah, it's me again. This time I was curious what else pisses you off that Jace does ... besides that outing-thing. Have a nice day! :D

Okay, let me preface this with the fact that his main source of Anoying-ness (so to speak) is how much I’m supposed to like him.
If you take a character and spend every couple paragraph trying to cram it down my throat that he’s oh so hot and competent and awesome and did I mention hot? I’m going to dislike him on principle.
Especially if you then go on to describe him as vaguely as possible (he’s blond with a tan and yellow eyes. That’s all I know about what he looks like.) and write him as completely incompetent (Take an untrained and weaponless girl into a house full of vampires in the middle of the night? The only reason someone with that kind of reasonning survives to see his seventeenth birthday is because the book said he had to.)
