The Gunslinger/Dark Tower books. I’ve never been a fan of King, but the books had good reviews up to that point, and the opening line drew me in. I have up as soon as there was dialogue, maybe 5-6 pages in, it was just incredibly cringe.

Yes. It’s not a surprise that when the Hugo’s created a category for Best Series in 2017, The Vorkosigan Saga won. And then the very next year, she won again with World of the Five Gods. Her books really are that good.
