Re: Books you read recently that you hated.

okay so. I've mentioned it before anon but. probably nobody cares.

I've never returned library books unfinished before, until now. Guy Gavriel Kay's Under Heaven started out unique, but when it got to where he was shifting from past tense to present tense, I started to get angry, and then I realized the shift in tense (often mid-chapter) was solely to narrate from female POV. That was when I closed the book and took it back.

I tried Ken Liu. Got about five chapters in, hated every goddamn word in that book. The main character had absolutely no presence, I couldn't figure out why I should like him or want to read a whole series of books about him. The worldbuilding was handled fairly awkwardly, too.

Gave an urban fantasy a shot, went for the second book in Max Gladstone's series (because I read the synopsis and it sounded more interesting than the first book). Noped out as soon as the female love interest was introduced as a walking action movie cliche relationship setup. The worldbuilding was over-dense and though I probably missed some by skipping the first book, it was still not enough to grab me.

I'm like 1/4 in successful recs from FS, so I probably won't try the rest of my list.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who dislikes Max Gladdtone. He is the friend of a friend and my friends act as though he is the best thing since sliced bread. I thought the first one was just ok, not that great. I do not understand why he is the new fandom darling.

ooh ouch - six degrees of separation doesn't help, I'm sure.

idk I mean I was looking for something atypical, fantasy-wise, and the setting was, but that was about the only good thing I could say. The plotline was cliche, the characters were cardboard, there was nothing worth finishing there.
