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 didn't hate it, but it was one of the books that I just had no burning desire to pick back up. Something about the fantasy elements just didn't resonate with me, but that said, I don't do fantasy a whole lot. I like some but definitely not all. I just felt confused at the world set up and exactly what was going on, and it didn't work for me.
I didn't connect well with Aria and I think that is the ultimate problem.
Stopped at: 10%
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.
