Same here. I’m 75% done and I feel like I got a copy to another book than what others are reading. I’ve struggled to keep reading it. Half the time I don’t know what’s going on. I feel like it’s more than writing style than the plot, but a bit of both. Major bummer.
I’m feeling this - at page 180 and debating whether go push through. I am just not connecting or wanting to pick it up.
me! i read the same book as you did! (and gave the same rating for similar reasons)
I had to DNF at around page 110. I read A LOT of fantasy and it was hard to stay focused on this world. I think, for me, it was that almost all descriptions were exposition vs showing us. So much dialogue and that felt stilted.
I had the same experience and was having a hard time pinpointing why!!
I agree. We needed more world building before the mystery.
The reasons that you didn’t like the book were the exact reasons why I did. But, the Tainted Cup was not your cup of tea.
I needed this review and the comments because I was thinking I was the only one
Same! I want to love this book but I keep rereading pages due to boredom of it. Im up to page 232 and turned to reviews here to see why I’m missing the hype.
I agree, I had a hard time getting into this book… even dropped it for a period of time and then finished it because I was travelling and had my ereader with me.
If I wrote reviews consistently, this is the review I would write for this book. Sadly, I bought the 2 books currently in this series already so I guess I’ll attempt the next one, but I don’t have high hopes.
You hit the nail on how I feel about this book, I just couldn’t get through all the terminology and I’m not new to fantasy, felt like I’d missed a whole chapter introducing me to the world!
I could have written this review. I’m so tired of trying to care and feeling like I missed two books somewhere. So disappointing.
