Most Dissapointing Books I Read This Year

the Arthurian aspects didn't really feel particularly necessary to me and overall like it just wasn't particularly invested in the story or the characters that were going on in benen Hill

I did en I loved actually I didn't just enjoy I loved reading daughter of the Empire

I wasn't expecting the humor of death gate cycle there's a little bit of a snarkiness or something within the characters and it just there's a wittiness that I wasn't quite anticipating and I was looking for something at the time just a little bit more adult and a little Grimmer

I got to book two and it did the same thing and I've been on Hiatus with it ever since like I just end up like not really enjoying the first 40% of the book and then I felt like once I'm like halfway through the book I'm like okay it's pretty good

the first half of the book was amazing the second half of the book went completely off the rails none of the goals to get back to the first part of the book were ever accomplished and it felt like it just lost its way

I was just completely checked out the entire book I didn't care about any of the characters none of it worked for me

mistress the follow-up or it's either mistress or servant I don't actually know in my brain which one's which the sequel to daughter just didn't work for me

I got 20% in and I was just like this isn't for me like I don't this is very basic and then it does a cool little twist and I was like oh this is really cool

towards the end of Shadow fan like stuff just starts happening very quickly like a lot more quickly than it's ever happened in the trilogy and I don't know if I was just I don't think I was able to keep up with what was going on so by the time we get to the ending I had to listen to the ending like four times and I still didn't fully understand what had happened

I expected this to be a lot scarier than it was but other than that though I mean it was a good read I didn't hate reading this it just didn't fulfill my expectations

this is one where I forced myself to finish these not because they were bad I just thought that they were messy

the fact that it was just so wildly different I just I couldn't reconcile it I hated reading in that book but I forced myself to finish it for a readathon

this one it just felt so busy and so messy on top paired with the fact that I don't like that narrator and it just didn't end up working

I didn't hate Tres of the emerald SE it just I didn't like it I think the first 20 to 30% when Tres is still at home I thought it was really great I thought it was fantastic I loved Tres I loved the dynamic I loved the humor

I just didn't understand the hype for this it I've been told Jingo is either one who works for you or who doesn't and clearly this just didn't work for me

I had my issues with the Wolves of the plain because it just certain things didn't quite fit together super well certain relationships
