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?
So the magic/tech thing is totally intriguing and I would totally read something where it was done properly but your synopsis legit made me laugh. It sounds absolutely insufferable.
The Abhorsen series by Garth Nix handles the magic/tech thing really well IMO
