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?
The Maid by Nita Prose. The protag is obviously written with autism in mind (even if the author “hasn’t officially confirmed it”), and everyone treats her like a dog that can walk on her hind legs, she says things like, “I sign with a heart, to declare amorous intent” and is too stupid to know the police don’t want to hear her ramble on about biscuits when they’re investigating a suspicious death. It’s just perpetuating the infantilization of adults under the ASD spectrum.
Oh and it won Goodreads choice last year for “Best Mystery”. Somehow.
