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 Sword of Shannara. The majority of the book is a solid C-C+ fantasy novel. That is, until the twist at the end. I won’t spoil it, but that was the worst moment of, “and now the true power is revealed”, that I have ever witnessed in any format of media.
I was so dumbfounded that I reread the entire passage before deciding that yes, it truly is that stupid. I then threw the piece of trash into a random corner of my room. It stayed there for a few more days before I threw it out altogether. I never could make myself read any of the prologue, and will not consider any of the remaining books in the series.
