robin hobb books

so, I'm maybe 200 pages into forest mage or whatever the fuck that book is called and I...quit. I don't usually just quit reading books, but everyone is just so unlikeable that I don't know what to do with it. I want to smack everyone and go, "Imperialism is wrong! Fuck off!" and "STFU Nevarre, you responsibility avoidant whining ass," and "STFU Nevarre's dad, you racist fuckwit!" and "STFU princess whatever your name is, you shallow immature douche."

This was largely my problem with the Assassin trilogy, except that I actually liked all of the characters except for the main whiny dude. I just...shouldn't spend the entire book wishing like hell that the main character would just shut up and die already.

I don't read fiction to be immersed in the reality of people being dicks; I read fiction to avoid it. Rargh. Maybe I can go find a nice romance novel to read. Or vampire assassins for the CIA.
