Quite honestly I can’t stand only a few books that I’ve read, recently The Awakening by Nora Roberts.

Holy crap, do I reallllyyyyy want my money back. I was bored. So. Bored. The magic system was subpar, the characters just….ew, everything was so, so boring. The MC is an idiot.

What book is a zero star read for you?

      Everyone acts like Red Queen was some kind of YA revolution.

      If you’ve seen or read X-Men, and seen or read The Hunger Games, then congratulations, you’ve already read Red Queen.

      It might be the most predictable book I’ve ever read. I didn’t bother finishing the series.

      I was kinda surprised by the difference in the reception to Lightlark here on Reddit and TikTok. Like it was barely mentioned here

      I felt the same about Red Queen. Intriguing idea, if you don’t mind just another superpower remix, but the romance was regurgitated and the MC was a total idiot. Didn’t get past the first book.

        I met the author shortly after RQ came out and I asked why she decided to give some of the people silver blood. Her answer was “because I thought it sounded cool”. I was just like “uhh…okay”.
