10/11/2022 How long do you give a new-to-you series to decide if you like it?
....at worst a few pages. I will NOT suffer through book after book in case the series gets better. I do not get people who buy 5 books in a series. Nah, not me. I buy book 1, and if I do suffer through it all I will not buy book 2.
If you suck, you are gone. I do not care if you are new or not

I can go either way. It depends on what was niggling at me in the first book. If I think it's just the intro stuff being a little boring and it will get exciting after that, I'll hang on, but if its the writing style or under-developed plot/romance/characters, I'll let it go.
ReplyDeleteI find that when I try and finish, well I always end up disappointed
DeleteYou are the queen of dnf'ing lol I cut most series years ago and I'm much better at just quitting the book or moving on.
ReplyDeleteKaren @For What It's Worth
Quitting is good for the soul
DeleteI have stopped a series after one book, but usually I don't hate a book so much that I won't try book 2. I did pre-buy all 5 of the Heartstriker books so they better not suck! LOL.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I will perish if you end up hating them
DeleteI will buy a whole series if the price is right but if I don't like it, I will pass it along.
ReplyDeleteI just could not, mostly cos the price here is never right Even one book cuts deep
DeleteSame here! I just don't have the patience or time to read a bad book.
ReplyDeleteGood!
DeleteIt depends on the series, if it's like an epic fantasy that's only gonna be at most 3-4 books I quit if the first book doesn't impress me. Urban fantasy series I give it 2-3 books before I throw in the towel because those typically run longer and some of my favorite UF series have taken more than the first few books to really take off.
ReplyDeleteYeah I just can't with fantasy, I want to love them from the get go!
DeleteIf book 1 is okay...I will suffer through for book 2. If it is TERRIBLE then I quit
ReplyDeleteCarole, noooooo
