It's easy to play the gender card and say "Oh it's 'cause she's a Woman". It's not. Even if Yara was a dude, I'd find her irritating and unlikable. I honestly couldn't give a crap what's between her legs. I hate her for her personality and the way she treats Theon.

Also, honestly, I try not to compare the show and the books. The books have more time and can put more focus on character development because there's so many other aspects that the showrunners have to take into account that Martin doesn't. I've always thought making a TV show is harder than writing a book. I've tried both and, trust me, working in a studio is harder. But I really wish they would have at least given us a reason to like Yara in the first place. She is, without a doubt, one of the worst characters in the show...
