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?
Son of Rosemary by Ira Levin
I loved reading Rosemary’s Baby. I always wondered what their lives would be like with >!Rosemary raising her son (despite him being the Son of the Devil), and vowing to teach him how to be good.!< I was surprised there was even a sequel to it, and wondered why nobody talked about it. Yeah…there’s a reason.
I liked the concept of Rosemary waking up from her coma, and reuniting with her son after so many years. Even him being half devil added some interesting conflicts and dilemmas about nature vs nurture. But then it fell apart once the incest angle came into effect, there were some moments where it felt “fan fiction-y” in terms of describing her son’s success, some plot threads that just went nowhere, and DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE ENDING.
Overall, it was a complete waste of time.
