katikatDay 23 - Most annoying character ever:
There are MANY of them, especially in the books that I translate - don't get me even started about "Dragonlance" or "Forgotten Realms" - but the gold medal would go to the whole cast of Fiona McIntosh's "The Quickening Trilogy".
OMG, I hated every frickin' character in those books so much. They were all so dumb I felt my IQ falling just by holding the books in my hands. I was translating the whole trilogy for my boss and by the end of the last book, I was literally weeping with frustration, the books were THAT bad. And I spent half a year working on them! When I was done with the whole dreadful thing, I told my boss clearly that I would never, EVER translate anything McIntosh wrote again!
