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?
Probably an unpopular opinion, but the most recent book that fits for me was Babel by RF Kuang.
What’s worse is that it starts out OK, but then just the awful writing built up and up until I couldn’t take it anymore. The characters are 2D, the plot’s dumb and the world building is nonsensical, but probably the worst part is the condescending tone the narration takes (those footnotes, woof!).
