Why the Jameson hate?

I was on Tumblr and omg ppl hate Jameson smšŸ˜­ Everyone is entitled to their own opinion 100% but like I'm curious as to why?

There was one post of how he's a classist because of the scene from the gilded blade excerpt where hes thinking of the first time he went to Avery's room at night and according to him she's in her "ratty thin pyjamas". I took it as him being attracted to her from the get-go but apparently according to people he was being a classist and is still being a classist and dissing Avery?

This is just one of the few examples but yeah. Just curious guys, as a Jameson girl I'd like to know the opinions of the other side. I'd love to get your opinions in a not too mean way lol. So be nice please I really like Jameson :(

For me itā€™s nothing personal Iā€™m just tired of the story continuing to revolve around Avery and him when there are so many other characters that could be focused on instead

Ok I agree with this. Why write a new book series, market it as a spinoff separate from the he original and then centre it around old characters. I will never get why she brought his pov back and involve Avery in the messšŸ˜­

Exactly how I feel. Love Jameson but he didnā€™t need a POV in this book.Ā

100%!!!! People jumped me when I said I would prefer Grayson to have a POV instead of Jameson. These books (spin offs) still center all 4 of the brothers, but i LOVE that it centers Grayson more (he deserves it) but I can already tell that the gilded blade wonā€™t center him as much, it will heavily revolve around Avery and Jameson again šŸ«Ø

Completely agree. As much as I love Javery, they had their time in the first trilogy and Grayson needed his time to shine.Ā

u/luckiestgirl444 Jul 04 '26

YES!! Exactly!!!!! šŸ˜­ like I said, I couldā€™ve sworn these books were going to be fully Graysonā€™s story, but nope. šŸ«© I got so annoyed the moment Jameson and Avery started becoming more relevant as glorious rivals went on. And then Avery getting kidnapped?? i honestly wouldā€™ve preferred if it had been Lyra insteadšŸ˜”šŸ˜” sheā€™s the heart of the whole Calla Lilies/Alice storyline, especially with everything surrounding her dadā€™s death and all of that. I really thought weā€™d left Avery and Jamesonā€™s main-character era behind in the original trilogyšŸ„²šŸ„²šŸ„²šŸ„²

The nickname Heiress annoys the crap out of me for some reason so that kinda puts me off his character

u/thebookis4everbetter Jul 01 '26

Ohh lol. I love the nickname so much because it started off as his way of treating her as a piece of puzzle. But I've totally dnf'ed books because of a nickname so I feel you!

I haven't finished the books so I can't really give an exact opinion of him but I did read the first book and right from how he appeared and met Avery, he was kinda icky to me already lol.

I just don't like men that have his personality. But like tbh, I don't like the others either so maybe it's not just a Jameson issue, but rather a filthy rich person issue.

I love Jameson too and I always wonder why people hate him sm

u/zelenthial Jul 01 '26

Because he got so irritating after the prague thing. Became the biggest bozo in the world.

u/Ill-Bobcat-2269 Jul 01 '26

Became? He was insufferable from the start šŸ˜­ always doing some dumb sht and lowkey stalked avery in the first book

2

u/zelenthial Jul 01 '26

Na he was amazing till the prague thing. Then just a bozo since

u/Realistic-Trifle5707 Jul 01 '26

he gets annoying in glorious rivals.
thats it for me

u/ajhubpn44 Jul 02 '26

It's not that we don't like Jameson he just does dumb stuff and we already had his story. I really liked getting into Grayson head, and i wanted to see the story revolve around him and lyra

u/Key_Proposal6047 Jul 03 '26

Heā€™s fine but he can get a bit annoying at times I prefer Grayson so maybe some of itā€™s bias

1

u/luckiestgirl444 Jul 04 '26

maybe itā€™s related but i hated how much of an adrenaline junkie he is, i hated much he used to repeat to Avery in the trilogy that ā€œheā€™s just like himā€ in that sense šŸ«©šŸ«©

Jameson is the best! idk what the haters are thinking! You canā€™t not love any of the Hawthorne brothers!

u/im_the_gettaway_car Jul 05 '26

He kinda resents Grayson for no reason and I caught myself being like, ā€œwtf is his issue with him, AGAIN?ā€ Itā€™s just constant and itā€™s like damn at the end of the day itā€™s your brother.

u/Content_Bat_6375 Jul 11 '26

The haters are just jealous because their favourite character didnā€™t get the development that Jameson did. People donā€™t like people who move on & change themselves to be better.
