this book left me feeling gross about its entire point of view and then on top of that I thought it was just overwritten overwrought and over invested in its own aesthetic
the 8 worst books I read in 2024 ππ½
- Biggest Disappointments of 2024 Β· 9 books Β· counted in creators' Biggest Disappointments of 2024
overall the story's Reliance on the miscommunication on the obliviousness on the overdone sort of quirky humor it really became exhausting for me
this book is a bunch of nothing the plot barely advances at over 500 pages and then we get a cliffhanger at the end of those 500 pages
the plot is so Meandering like it feels like it doesn't care about the plot it doesn't care about the world there was so little Foundation there was so little showing there was so little care to really think about this work as its own entity
I hated love on the brain
I was really surprised by how bad this one was especially considering how hyped it is I found it really tonally inconsistent badly written very repetitive anachronistic very shallow in its atmosphere building and almost non-existent in its World building and then you get a romance that was hardly developed
I enjoyed the love hypothesis
we are told very repeatedly that she is a certain way but we are shown none of that and the disconnect between what we are told and what we are shown makes this a really frustrating read
it was not fun it was not interesting it was not enjoyable making this the worst book that I read in 2024
this book had some moments where I was enjoying it more than others but I think it is so high on my list of worst because it just was so bloated it was so bloated it needed editing so bad
