Re: What's the most recent book you've read and hated?

[(Anonymous)]

Misfire earlier! Reposted in sub-thread.

Can't say I hated it, but: Daughter Of Smoke & Bone, by Laini Taylor, seemed quite promising - interesting protagonist, some fascinating world-building, angels (which I'm a sucker for) and some nice fight scenes. She'd effectively avoided making Karou a Mary Sue, and Akiva was fairly interesting, even with the contrived mystery around him...

Then the love story started.

I love a good romance, even with cheesiness, but it just started to feel rushed and overly sappy, the prose getting progressively more purple, and I was more and more disappointed as it went on. The best bit of that half of the book was probably the Romeo & Juliet homage with the ballroom scene - and even then, some of the character descriptions read like someone's DeviantArt anthro OCs. (I mean, Thiago's a cross between a werewolf, a bishounen boy and Conan the barbarian.)

*sighs* Will not be investing in the sequel, I think.

Oh, seconding every last word of this. I even said "Hey, I'm not going to gripe too hard about the love-at-first-sight thing because there's obviously some past-life buried-memories stuff going on here." And then we got to the past life and discovered that that was also love at first sight and made even less sense.
