WORST BOOKS OF THE YEAR ❌ Let's Discuss 📕 2024 Reading Recap

this one I think more than anything this one I was just bummed because I really enjoyed how it started and I didn't necessarily dislike the writing style by any means and I would read something else by this author I think what maybe would be the quickest way to describe my feelings for this is it felt like a trilogy's worth of story was cut apart and forced into a standalone

an education and Malice I thought was going to be an examination of the way that Mentor figures can take advantage of their mentees and in this particular story those come in the form of a professor and her students and at some point it just kind of turned into everybody wants to have sex with everybody and I'm not saying that those stories can't be interesting but I thought we were going to do something really impactful and powerful and meaningful and what we did wasn't what I thought we were going to do

fourth wi didn't work for me but I thought okay while I think that the stakes in this are ridiculous and forced and there's obviously more at play than what you initially see maybe it's one of those stories that's just going to take time and maybe the characters will mature and also I like the dragons

guns of the Dawn really appreciated a lot of the themes I didn't necessarily dislike the writing but I found the main character Emily to be stupid and relatively insufferable I thought that the Romantic plot line in the story was horrible I couldn't stand the love interest I couldn't stand their relationship with each other thought it was extremely unhealthy

how to become the dark lord and die trying I think the reason that this one ends up winning for me over the other is because it had the most annoying character pretty much from the first page I was like -oh I don't think I can handle a whole book of this character and I managed to I managed to do it but I was like never again

did I dislike this or did I actually kind of love it because it's I'm aware of what it's doing it's sort of it's both paying homage to the horror slasher genre while also so completely making fun of it and having satire of it but it resulted in the characters being so incredibly stupid and for the story to feel like one giant cartoon

iron flame I'm I don't really care for this series as is evident by the fact that it's on this list fourth wi didn't work for me but I thought okay while I think that the stakes in this are ridiculous and forced and there's obviously more at play than what you initially see maybe it's one of those stories that's just going to take time and maybe the characters will mature and also I like the dragons so let's give it a go and then I read the second one and it just kind of reaffirmed like no this isn't the work for me

one day in December I have spent so much time so much time talking about why this book didn't work for me and it didn't work for me because it is a ridiculous premise and really stupid characters

it is somewhat cheeky and silly but it is at the end of the day it's very smudy so it's kind of taking a lot of stories that are smudy and then it's making fun of them and I appreciated that but it didn't work for me I want a little more plots and also when it comes to character relationship building I want to care more about the characters as individuals and that didn't really provide that

I liked aspects of this story I really appre appreciated the it sounds morbid but the horrific ways that war affects people I really appreciated that it didn't shy away from showing that I actually feel I might have enjoyed this story more if it had just stayed historical fiction actually rather than becoming speculative I think those elements they just didn't quite click for me

when the moon hatched this felt like a combination speaking of popular things and fantasy romance this felt like a combination of almost every popular Trope in fantasy Romance combined and this meant that the reading experience didn't feel very unique for me it also made it so that it didn't feel like any one thing was fleshed out enough for my preference
