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?
Sword of Shannara. It was dollar store LOTR. I hear he got better at writing in later books, but my god that was hard to read.
Honorable mention for Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet, who has never heard of the phrase “show don’t tell.”
