I have two. The Ritual and Drowning.

The Ritual is pure smut. 61 chapters and every one contains a graphic, demeaning sex scene. I’m convinced the author was an adult film screenwriter and decided to try their hand at writing a novel. There isn’t a single likable character in this book.

Drowning isn’t a great work of literature. I felt that the characters were very two-dimensional. I hated how naive the author made the protagonist. It made me have a lack of sympathy for her. The ending was series finale of Dexter bad.

    Night Angel: Nemesis by Brent Weeks

    I was so excited for a new book in the Night Angel series but it felt like Kyler forgot 90% of everything he knew in the space of a few months. He went from slaughtering mages and elite soldiers by the dozens to not being able to handle a single mage 1v1. At one point a fucking fish was a huge threat. That and spoiler how one of Justine’s babies was. It was literally spelled out to him at the end of Beyond the Shadows that Elene’s baby had been transferred to Justine, but it’s not until the end of NA:N that he seems to realize one of the babies is his.

    I have a myriad of other complaints, but Kyler getting nerfed and becoming incompetent just chapped my ass.
