It's Not You, It's Me: DNF post

     I have done this several times on my blog. Books that just don't work for me. I know my reading style pretty well, and I can tell whether I will like the book or not accurately about 80-90% of the time. If I finish a book, then there are aspects of that book that I enjoyed. I never talk about the author in a negative way, I only say what doesn't work for me. Normally if I finish a book, I give it at least 3 stars, meaning that I liked it.

Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass, #4)

Maas, Sarah J. *

   Stopped at 9%

Loved the first, second and third wasn't as great, and the plot in 4 is just getting too dense for me. And I forgot way too much and was lost. I need a lighter fantasy.

  That isn't to say that the writing is poor or the characters are poorly constructed, it's personal on my end.

I want to read crowns game because I like the sound of the magic and the excitement of the game. Vika sounded like a strong main character that I could relate with.

I did go into a little wary though because I read some negative things about the love triangle coupled with some instalive and just the whole romance aspect not being very well realized.

It didn't start out well for me because it started back in 1825 and I am very much a person who likes for things to be rooted in the now or in the future not the past. While I understand well it did it to give us some background on the game and the rich historical significance it just kind of threw me off.

it kept going in the first four chapters there were 4 different point of view. I like mine to be in first person but can get away with some third person when well written. but I also prefer either one person's point of view or to 3 is pushing it and for just gets to the point where I get confused about who did what and I mix up who they are and their characteristics.

My question to you, my lovely readers:
Do you have any POV preference or dislike? (1st, 2nd, 3rd, dual, multiple POV)
