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?

    A Court of Thrones and Roses. I really tried, because it’s got so much hype and I like fantasy but it was so terrible that I couldn’t finish it

      lol even the fanbase skips that book in the series because it’s probably one of the worst ones. lol it was a fun read for me but it doesn’t reread well.

      I remember trying to read A Throne of Glass when I was 14. I couldn’t make it past the first two chapters. It was so hokey and pretentious. I remember there was a paragraph describing how the main super special blonde girl was wearing shackles and she thinks about how she can kill someone with just those. Might as well have her teleport behind the evil guy and say “nothing personnel kid”

      So dumb. Not surprised to hear that the author love smelling her own farts about how great her artwork is

      I have heard so many mixed feelings about this that I can’t figure out whether to read it or not
