the worst books i read in 2023 + all the books I DNF'd

I just felt like it got really slowand didn't have the spark of the first book like I felt like the first book wasso original and so exciting but this one lacked that excitement for me

I was reallyenjoying the beginning of this book when I first started it but as I kept going Istarted to see my interest weigh and I do feel like these days Cassandra cla'sbooks are just so long and I feel like they really need to be condensed

Ithink the suspense element was done really well I do feel like there wasn'tas much substance to it as I wanted I do feel like the ending was a bit of acopout in my opinion

I was exced excited when this book came out because I reallyenjoyed dating Dr Dill

the main reason that I didn't enjoy this book and the reason why Idnfed it was just the thin and sort of flimsy World building and also the lackof gravity when it came to the dragons

honestly I just really didn't see the Chemistry Between the characters I foundthe main character to be really annoying and same with the love interest I didn'tlike either of them on their own

it felt too dreamlike it felt too ungrounded Ifelt like most of the details were very confusing there was way too much likeflowery language and I feel like there wasn't really any plot to the book atall

the first book wasso original and so exciting

I'veheard really amazing things about this book but I honestly just couldn'tget into it was very much on the slow side in terms of pacing

after about the 30% in I really had to just pushmyself through the rest of this book because my interest just kept waning andit was like watching paint dry reading this book because nothing was happening

I felt likethe Chemistry Between the characters was a little stilted and it wasn't as likeromantic I think as I found dating Dr Dill to be

it felt just very overly pretentious like the authorwas trying to make herself into this like super literary book when it wastotally not necessary and it just made for like an awkward reading experienceand not a really fun one

I didn't really like the characters tobegin with I wasn't really invested in the romance and even the supernaturalbits just didn't hook me the way I was hoping

I honestlyjust really didn't like the Chemistry Between the characters I didn't like thecharacters individually on their own either and overall I was just kind ofunimpressed by the entire thing

I enjoyed it wasn't my favorite but itwas like a solid read I didn't really care for the romance in that one but Idid like the supernatural elements to the book and I liked the take onvampires that she did because it was pretty uncommon

I do think I enjoy that book a lot more because therewere some interesting things happening with the characters

although I really appreciated like the message ofthe book and like the examination of this type of character I didn't think itwas very enjoyable
