I personally can't stand the girl and her constant nagging as to the 'superiority' of beast over machine. Alek is trying to come to grips with the fact his parents are dead, people are out for his life, and his nation is going to be pulled into the greatest conflict the world had yet to see. All in all, I can at least stand him, all while Deryn just makes me want Alek to pop her in the mouth.
