Series that I am not continuing, the DNFs and Pauses || December 2022 [CC]

I read monk and the robot for my novella, Hugo project. ... the theming is really loud. And it's not themes that I'm personally resonating with at the moment.

I liked it as it was. It was fun for the moment in which I read it.

I read one book, it was Reagan's book, it's a horse book. I can't remember the name across the green grass fields. ... And I mean, it was good, but it was only okay.

I've read the first two novellas. And I think they're fun. I think they're great. I mean, four stars. I think for both of them, maybe four and a half for the first one.

And I just, I wanted to like it, because everyone compared it to Ninefox Gambit, which is one of my favorite series of all time. And I just, I had issues. ... it was work, it was a lot of work, I was really distant from the main character.

I think I read caresses of ice back in May or something like that. And I like them. They are fun.

I liked the first book. It's like a four star read. But I think I'm done with a thought experiment. I don't think I need to do more with that.

And this is the noodle shop mystery. I'm just of the three cozy mysteries I tried. This is the one I'm least interested in continuing with.

But foreigner had a lot of tropes that are not my thing. And it was a writing style that was really hard for my brain.

And for this one, I just didn't really like the plot that much, and the world was fine. I just I liked the character interactions when I got them, but it was not enough.

And I really liked a little bit Zona for what it was, although it did have some plot conveniences that I didn't truly love.

I read malice earlier this year. And it was fine. That's it, it was fine. And 600 pages of fine. And actually I was a little annoyed by the ending.

I read the first two. And they were so average, they were so just fine. ... And they're not good, complete arcs.

One that I really actually didn't like the book of Shadows of the short days. ... I really actually like a lot of the world building and I liked the contemporary rebellion setting. I just hated our two main characters.

It wasn't for me. I don't like the main character. It's first person point of view.

And I really did like the last one, I was only okay with the first one, I think both are a little long.

And that was the genesis of misery, mainly because I just really didn't like that book.

I really did like the last one, I was only okay with the first one, I think both are a little long.

But at the same time, I really liked the marrow thieves as a standalone. I'm nervous about where the sequel would go.
