I wrote a post awhile back about negative reviews, and how I don't review if I don't finish, and a very wise blogger pointed out that knowing what a blogger doesn't like can be valuable to publishers and authors too. Then another blogger mentioned she did a did not finish post and I thought it was a great idea. So, here we go:
Why I did not finish:
I could not get into the stream of consciousness narration
Stopped at: 4%
Why I did not finish:
Did not connect with Neryn, and was taking me too long to get into. I need to be grabbed right away these days or I'd never finish anything. I can't put my finger on anything specific really, which isn't all that helpful I suppose. The way that she thought sat weirdly with me as well as her relationship to her dad. I don't know what I would've done differently in her shoes though to be honest.
Stopped at: 2%
That isn't to say that the writing is poor or the characters are poorly constructed, it's personal on my end.
I'd love to see if you have a great review of any of these books and what you loved about them.
