Worst Books of 2016

I did give this book two stars because honestly I do think there's quality in the writing here. I think that the author is very well researched but the relationships and the overuse of rape and how rape was at times portrayed as a bad thing worth being killed over and then other times portrayed as a good thing that is very romanticized and desirable, that's what I could not like reconcile those two ideas in my head.

I did enjoy the characters and I was very attached to them. Unfortunately the character with a disability, Will, who has quadriplegia, was just grossly mistreated.

I enjoyed Outlander when I read it.

There were many reasons why did not like these two books but the thing that I was the most mad about was that the character of Ann is constantly fat-shamed all throughout the series and I was just getting really frustrated with the way that this kept happening.

What the real nail in the coffin was for me with these books is that at the very end of book 3 we find out as a plot twist that a character has been gay the entire time, and a lot of you always get onto me for spoiling this but guys, it's not a spoiler.

I was really looking forward to it and it just completely and utterly let me down. It was just a mess. The plot of this book was all over the place.

I actually DNFed this book once I hit the halfway point and the reason for that is because something had just been revealed to me that I felt had no build-up whatsoever and it was a thing that you should have seen it coming. I didn't care about any of the characters and once we got to the halfway point I realized I don't care what the outcomes are, I don't know where this book is going, I don't want to know, and so I DNFed it.

One word that would describe this book would be: 'lacking.' It was lacking at character development. These characters felt like just cardboard cutouts.
