BOOK SERIES IM GIVING UP ON (ft. some internet favs)

i've read the entirety of the original trilogy and for the most part i find sarah j maas is writing to be very entertaining i like her series

it has some good atmosphere and overall i sort of enjoyed it but i wouldn't say it was a story that blew me away

i liked it i didn't love it well i found the story to be playful and i appreciated the overall idea i just didn't really connect to the characters and i found the story itself to be plotted a little predictably

i think i've read the first one twice and generally i enjoyed it but i kind of feel like the first one was kind of a one-trick pony

in general i just found the book to be okay it had some great elements that i appreciated from the characters as well as the superpowers and the sci-fi setting in general i enjoyed pieces of it but i wouldn't say the story kind of captured my attention or blew me away enough to commit myself to two more books in that series

generally speaking the story just didn't fully land for me it just was okay for me it was by no means bad

while it definitely had some fun tropes and the romance was engaging overall i found the actual fantasy component of this just not be fleshed out enough for me to want to continue on with the series

unfortunately for me i just found it to be okay it had elements that i thought were pretty interesting but overall from applauding and a story perspective i just wasn't blown away

honestly i don't even think i was able to finish it i think i got about halfway through and i dnf'd and i have no plans to continuing

this was a lot of fun i think i read the first two books but i forgot everything so i thought maybe i'd reread it so i can finish it but i just don't really see that happening

i really didn't like it from pretty much every single angle from the writing to the story the plotting the characters just everything for me was generally amiss
