Nooo, I love Six of Crows! But I didn't think it was slow at all, so I think maybe Bardugo's style is just for me and it maybe didn't work out for you. Sorry to hear it but I hope you find some books you can get through soon!
I had a couple this week that were 'no can do's, too. Sometimes it's just best to set it down and move on. Huh, don't think I've read one that had lots of name-dropping, but I can see how that would get old.
I've thought about Six of Crows, but not hard. I'm not a fan of name dropping either. J.R. Ward does it a lot. It became a joke, Get the brands of t-shirts and underwear, but I joked that I couldn't go on because I didn't know what brand of jeans he was wearing. LOL
I dislike namedropping/brand-dropping. So distracting.
ReplyDeleteI only read like 20 pages but it was everywhere!
DeleteBoo, on Six of Crows. I feel like it's the only Bardugo novel I genuinely liked. That's unfortunate.
ReplyDeleteI just could not, and I tried soooo hard
DeleteI'm still a little tempted to buy Six of Crows just for that cover.
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteSorry to hear about Six of Crows! I didn't think it was as amazing as the hype made it to be, but I guess I still had a good time with it.

I just could not get into it, it was so dull
DeleteI don't think any of those are for me, either.
ReplyDeleteI do think so too
DeleteI know right?? So many are loving Six of Crows. I think it's good, but not incredible :P
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteHappens to us all!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteOh no, Six of Crows. I hoped to read that soon. Hope my experience is better. *crosses fingers*
ReplyDeleteI know! Sigh

ReplyDeleteYes, maybe her style just is not for me
DeleteI hate constant name dropping. Boo!
ReplyDeleteIt was so over the top
DeleteDNFs - my favourite reviews, especially with Luci around!
ReplyDeleteHehe
DeleteMEOW MEOW!
ReplyDeleteI have Six of Crows on audio...oh no. Reshuffles to bottom of player list.
ReplyDeleteOn audio it would be soooo slow..or maybe not
DeleteI haven't finished Bardugo's 1st series yet, but Six of Crows did seem to have more hype than it could ever live up to...
ReplyDeleteThat it did
DeleteI just can't stand it when a book is boring----its the worst.
ReplyDeleteSO the worst
DeleteI feel your pain with Six of Crows.
ReplyDeleteSigh

ReplyDeleteYes move on is the best :)
DeleteI knew you would hate SoC lol
ReplyDeleteYou did warn me

Oh she sure did the namedropping haaaard. It 's just too much sometimes, it was like, I want to know about her, not what she is wearing
DeleteLife is far too short to read books we don't like.
ReplyDeleteTrue
DeleteHaha. I want to see Luci eating the DNF's!
ReplyDeleteI hate when a book is overloaded with pop culture references or name/brand dropping. Annoying!!
Interesting...I must see what I can do ;)
DeleteMaybe to much love going around for the first book? Ugh. Thanks for sharing about the DNFs. :)
