I gave up on the Gamache series as well. I did read 10 books though. I gave up on the maid series too. I gave up on the Marlow Murder series as book 2 was a dud, and I gave up on Finlay Donavan too as book 3 was a dnf for me. I hauled them all. Felt greeeeaat!

I like the idea of thinking of some books as "it was a standalone for me" even when it's a series. I have Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson on my TBR shelf which I haven't read yet, but I like the idea of perhaps just reading that first book if I feel like it and not feeling obligated to continue even if it's a good book. Series are a big time commitment to read.

I haaaated Before the Coffee Gets Cold. I think it was in my bottom 3 books I read last year. *That* trope was one reason, but also the pacing was just so frustrating. It felt like it could have been 20 pages and the same amount of stuff would have happened. I really liked Blindsight, but also don't have any interest in picking up Echopraxia. One is enough...

Good for you deciding that your time is more valuable and to not waste your time with book series that give you nothing. What a relief. Yes, in a way it is sad but when you have so many books that you are enjoying, why not devote your time to what will make you happy. I read the first book in the Outlander series, loved it, but I really can't see myself being tied to all those books-I unhauled them and never looked back. There is so much out there that fits me and is a one book or two book story. And that would work for me. Also, I do not want to limit myself to just one author when there are so many out there waiting for me to discover them.

@dornesque 2 ай бұрын

I totally understand why you do not want to continue with the Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi. I have decided to go on with it once the next instalment is published. But this is because I had really enjoyed the first half and the banter between Amina and her old friends. But the 2nd half was weak in my opinion, it felt too magically whimsical compared to the more serious tone of the first half. Unfortunately I had the same issue with the final book of the Daevabad trilogy by the same author. Loved the first two books and how they dealt with political intrigues but the final book really gave a different, almost far fetched vibe that I did not like. I really did not like Before the coffee gets cold either. I expected a more sci-fi tone considering the premise but it was really boring. And yes it being written by a man was SOO obvious. 😂

Super agree with Hyperion and She Who BtS (He Who Drowned the World was TERRIBLE) I will be continuing Stardust Thief and Keeper of Enchanted Rooms.

SPOILERS A woman that knows she won’t survive pregnancy gets pregnant and decides to keep it. Obviously she dies so her husband is now alone raising their daughter🙄

She Who Became the Sun was so disappointing. I almost felt like it was written by two different people because it was so refreshing and intriguing at first and then became so... Meh.

I thought the sequel to The Maid was better.
