SERIES AND BOOKS I DNF’D IN 2021

i appreciated what the author did in such a short amount of time i think that the way that they write the voice into the characters is very good however it's just not enough time for me

i read age of assassins by this same author and quite liked that

we didn't really get her interacting with a lot of other people at the beginning she eventually gets to a point where now she can interact with others but i just was finding i was not as invested as i wanted

the first one i found fairly entertaining but one i think it is a little bit extra romance heavy for my taste i like my fantasy romance to be a blend as opposed to mostly romance in a fantasy setting

this is a retelling of the arthurian legend but from the lady of schallat's perspective is definitely more of a thematic story and i just wasn't really connecting with it on the level i was hoping

i just could not stand the main character and i mean it's it's about him

i really appreciated just how unique the setting of iron widow was it is kind of a blend of science fiction and fantasy

i didn't love king of scars i loved the first half i didn't love where the plot went in the second half

in this particular one i think that some of the relationships i just wanted i wanted to feel the motivations that the character felt and sometimes i just didn't

i do really like the way that the author tackled grief in the story i thought they did that in a very exceptionally good way however like i said there's just aspects of how quickly the characters accept the magic and also a little bit of this love triangle trope that i wasn't really enjoying

i just there was a lot of points of view and i really didn't like most of them and i think i kind of needed to like them

while overall i did enjoy this story i liked the way that it approached the discussions of class and poverty and things like that i think my expectations were a little bit different than what i got

i picked up rule of wolves and i was like i don't i don't care

this is an official i dnf'd this book i read age of assassins by this same author and quite liked that and then the bone ship's writing style is drastically different

i appreciated a lot of those things it was just the last chunk of the book and some of again the relationship building in the story i wanted more of it i wanted more of the character building bonds with the other individuals that they are surrounded by

i found that by having the reader also obviously not be in the know about the magic it made some of the reveals and some of the plot points not hit as hard as it would have if i maybe felt a little bit like i was less in the dark

the kingdom of back which a lot of people did not connect with and i absolutely loved

this is one where i just dnf'd this book i did not care for our main character i know so many people find him so fun and he's such an engrossing captivating entertaining main character and i was like he is so immature i can't stand him

there's so much to the world and it was very interesting and there's a decent amount of perspectives but i just was like i'm not i don't feel like i will be satisfied with the amount of time we get with these characters

it was a lot and i didn't really like the characters and i didn't think they were poorly written i just didn't really like them

i very much enjoyed shadow of the gods

i just i never felt particularly connected to anyone in this story and so even though i really liked a lot of the intrigue that the author set up and i would love to try something else by this author this story the intrigue kind of relies on me caring about what's going to happen to the characters

i thought the story was going to be way more rooted in the plant life aspect

i liked their writing however this is a story that it has one of those things i was talking about earlier where the relationships between characters would sometimes build very quickly to the point where i didn't feel like i'd earned that connection

there were some aspects to it that i was really gripped by but i also felt like i wanted a little bit more time
