One of the most annoying character traits I find that make me dislike books is when the character is totally incompetent and refuses to learn.
While I like many of Robin Hobbs books, I really dislike the main character in the Soldiers Son series. Whiny, incompetent and never seems to learn from his mistakes.
I prefer characters that are capable and that grow during the book. Yes, most characters make mistakes, but when they make the same one over and over again without learning, this just gets annoying.
