What are your bookish pet peeves?

To do with the actual story.

Mine is using deus ex machina in the end conflict (mostly in fantasies).What are your bookish pet peeves?
-When the character is a Mary-Sue

-When the plot is just shallow and boring

-When the characters have like, no personality (Bella Swan, for example.)

-When I finish a book, and the end is a cliffhanger, and I have to wait another year for the next book to come out

-When the main character is *always* the hero. I like it when every character gets to shine in the light
Similar to the above answer one of my biggest pet peeves is to do with characters who have no development throughout the story and then they miraculously change at the end to whoever they were trying to be. I like to see the journey of a character to see them not just succeed but fail and even lose something that is important to them, I believe it makes them more real and recognisable.What are your bookish pet peeves?
So my pet peeve isn't really what most people would have, but my main one is when they add characters in later on in the story. I don't mean characters who are going to help the story, I mean random characters that come from no where. Say you have a team set up in a book, and they're doing a great job. Then all of a sudden, this new girl comes and joins in, but doesn't really offer anything team or story-wise. I hate when they do that!



Also, I hate girls who think they can do it all. I don't mean stubborn characters, or even Mary Sue (although I don't like Mary Sues either). All I mean is a character ( who is normally a girl) who thinks that they can do EVERYTHING, from saving the world, to getting the guy, to handing in all their homework on time. Seriously? No one could do all of that. Maybe a few things, but not all.



Sorry for the mini rant I just went off into! =)
Teen paranormal romances, especially ones where the girl either has "endearing" qualities like clumsiness or helplessness and a rotten attitude but everyone loves her and thinks she's the greatest thing since sliced bread (hello, Twilight), or she's the bestest most powerful and amazing vampire/ghost/werewolf/witch/etc ever and singlehandedly defeats the bad guy while everyone else stands on the sidelines and twiddles their thumbs. ENOUGH ALREADY!What are your bookish pet peeves?
Characters having "feelings" that something is wrong. (And these feelings being right every single time.)



Characters who are said to be strong, but need to get their *** saved every ten pages by someone/something or other.



Characters reacting unrealistically/out of character in scenarios.
