DNF time
Boring. She should have focused on Lucy, I read a lot and have no idea who Lucy is. The queen got her POV, blah blah got a POV. Yawn
This one I really tried with, I even made it to 160, but nothing had happened except for her sulking over a boy.
No worldbuilding either
I was bored. And why was she in a prison for men? I get it after reading on, but still that is just silly and unbelievable
Eh, I did not care for it
It felt choppy
So this was one of those the narrator did not work.
She sounded like a robot. She talked too fast. My ears did NOT like it

DNF
I have another batch of dnfs, I did not want to post them all at once. Since January I have been reading many from the bottom of my TBR so the ones I have left are good books. These are mostly those I have taken from the library Take One Leave one table. And back there they gave gone.
Meh, weird.
First of it was boring
Second the heroine was so perfect
Third The hero, the way he was described...yeah
Fourth No
Meh meh meh
Not exactly bad, but for me to read 800 pages it has to be better than ok.
Too many fast pov changes. I need to get to know people to care
I tried, it was ok, but more and more povs showed up. Out of thin air and I never got to know them. I do not mind many povs but I could not remember anyone or care

DNF Time
Just no. I have no idea what this world is. I have no connection to anyone. For me it did not work that the main character did not say a word.
I have no idea why everyone loves this. Boring

The last true vampire
I tried, but caaaaaaaaaaaaan't

Boring, sooo boring. 80s books are always so drama angsty creepy, but this one was actually boring. Instead of throwing it at a wall I just gave up
State of wonder

Jamrach's menagerie
So meh
Android Karenina
Soooooo dull

DNF time
Ugh. I tried! I then skimmed to page 200 and was so boooored. No one had a personality. People I had started to know where gone since 44 years had gone by. And nothing happened in those 200 pages.
I had to dnf, it was just too simple. The language not at all historical, they felt modern and the main character was not nice, the hero an ass. Just no. It felt ..self published ( I am so sorry selfpubbed books!) But, I guess like no one gave it a second look over.
This was so dull. One of the early chapters was about a woman getting up, bathing, getting her hair done, getting dressed, and I was all come on!
They were all dull
DNF
Meh meh meh

I should have read this one earlier. I read book 1 7 YEARS AGO! The reason why I never read on was because book 1 was crap. But I had book 2 and 3 sitting in my shelf. SIGH. So I tried, was confused and gave up. At least I try, now I can get rid of them

DNF TIME
I have been so lazy with those dnfs lately so here is one big posts. Should be all this year.
Verdict: All Meh. Also who can guess which cover is the ugliest?
Looking glass: It felt good, but omg so boring. I started to skim and whatever, dnf
Romanitas: Why was it so dull? Sad
Shadows on the Nile: I never began to care
An arranged marriage: Rape doesn't really say historical romance to me
A lot of pride and prejudice: What was up with that beginning?!
I still dream about you: Depressing
Divas don't knit: I did read half of it, it was not bad, but not great either
A secret in salem: So not the freebie for me
Gatecrasher: I do not like her...
The feather and the moon: I just can not. Bored and confused
Snakewood: I am just too confused. I can not read this.
I have no idea what the timeframe is, they keep jumping back and fort in time. I think, I know it, but I never know who or where... The POV keeps on changing. I have no idea who is who, who is who now or where, or... I am confused.
The last days of rabbit hays: It was good, but boring at the same time. It felt nice, but too many POVS . I just went meh
Tell the wolves I am home: Meh beginning and also, the tiny text...tiny!
His good opinion: Not a dnf cos it was bad, but because it was the story from his POV. Meh
Desired by the alien boss: Just no
Chosen by the alien lord *shakes head*
The beauty of destruction: My bad, it did not work reading this when I had not read the previous ones
