You wanted to read the book, you were excited to crack it open, you came into it with good faith and anticipation… but you ended up dnf-ing it. Which book and why?
Mine was The Maid by Nita Prose. It was for my book club and looked like a fun murder mystery. Instead I got instant manic-pixie-dream-neurodivergent-girl vibes, and I noped out before the crime scene was even found.
I DNF’d after chapter two of Malazan book 1, but only because I realized that I have too many 3- and 4-book fantasy series I’d rather complete (plus all the one-off fiction and nonfiction books) before spending a whole year only reading Malazan.
