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?
Ugh, I struggled so hard with The Awakening and I really really tried but couldn’t finish. I think I ended up abandoning it at 85% mid final battle because I just didn’t care about anyone or anything in that story. It is definitely a 1/5 book for me.
That said the actual worst book I’ve ever finished is Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas. Every paragraph was terrible and the sum of all its parts is significantly worse than any single piece. I’ve actually picke up some worse… I hesitate to call them books but I quickly abandoned them. For Throne of Glass I had decided to persist as a personal challenge.
