My main objection i similar to our but broader in scope. None of the main characters feel like real people. They are Platonic Ideals of Ayn Rand's fantasy lifestyle, full stop

That always annoys the shit out of me when not one well. It can be done well, but it takes a significantly better author.

I think author-kinks are a bit misrepresented (especially with Jordan, who I read more as commentary on power dynamics) but the point is not invalid at all.
