A Discovery of Witches.

I just kept waiting for them to get to the book (macguffin,) and get to the book, and eventually it pissed me off the characters were dithering so much, I took it back to the library.

A Priory of the Orange Tree

The first 200 pages could have been one chapter. I think I got halfway through and realized how contrived the plot "progression" was and gave up.

Some of the worldbuilding was lovely in Priory but yeah, the dialogue felt v. blah to me and I gave up early.

Honestly I don't know how I made it through book one and two of DoW (1400+ pages), but as soon as that pregnancy trope hit, nope. I was gone so fast that Wile E. Coyote couldn't catch me.

I was SO excited to start DoW. About 200 pages in I realized the momentum had ground to a halt and the main couple were just going to do every romantic tropey thing imaginable. I did finish the first book out of morbid curiosity but it was terrible. NOTHING HAPPENED.

I asked a friend who had (I thought) similar tastes to me for a book recommendation to fill out an amazon order. Gamely slogged through it (I had a bit of a crush on her) but it was a hate-read by the end.
