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.
Picked up “The Traitor Baru Cormorant” because someone on here said it was good
Read a single sentence of utterly generic fantasy word garbage, something like “The Empire of Wizzle assaulted Theplacia” and put it down.
I’ve had quite enough fantasy stories that think characterless “fill in the blank” world building genericism for one lifetime thanks.
