I personally wasn't the greatest fan of Ninth House. It was good but I expected more.

What are some of yours?


message 2: by Amelie (new)

Amelie | 524 comments I disliked the first books in The Hunger Games and Throne of Glass series, and I didn’t bother continuing on with either of them. I also wasn’t a huge fan of The Maze Runner.

Celi | 346 comments -Clockwork angel, everything was a cliche, and it was pretty boring.
-ACOMAF, I don't like Rhys at all, Feyre was annoying, and didn't like Tamlin like the "bad guy" just so people would like Rhys.
-The fault in our Stars and Paper towns, I just really didn't care.
-If I stay, the movie is fine but I don't like the book.

- a court of thorns and roses, i didn't really like the plot or the hcaracters nad ended up being pretty disappointed by the end of the book
- red queen, i couldn't past the first 100 pages. i was extremely bored and i didn't care enough to finish the book
- carry on, i found this book extremely cringy, the plot was almost nonexistent and the characters were so annoying. i'm surprised that i actually ended up finish the book.
- young elites, i just didn't connect with the characters and i found the book really hard to read. dnf-ed it after 100 or so pages.

Red Queen, Red Queen, Red Queen. I mean, come on! The first book was ok, then it was a downhill slide from there.

The Hunger Games. It was pretty good, but it wasn't The Lunar Chronicles good.

Don't worry about posting your opinion on here :)
I do get that. I am a massive Harry Potter fan but I can see where you're coming from with the whole 'harry is right all the time' thing. I definitely agree that J. K. Rowling didn't portray the other houses in good light, I personally don't mind Slytherin, I think of them no less than Gryffindor.

message 11: by N (new)

N I didn't like Sabriel although I got lots of recommendations, and I didn't like Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli either


message 12: by Amelie (new)

Amelie | 524 comments I disliked Stargirl as well. The plot and characters really annoyed me.

I completely agree!!! I bought the box and felt as though I should finish the series but the first book took me so long to get through with a lot of complaining in between. Progressively it got better by the third book I actually got excited at the end but it was still predictable.


☀︎El In Oz☀︎ (elinoz) Six of crows sucks and is terrible and no one can change my mind. Slow plot, half of it is backstory, boring characters that lack personality, terrible world building and confusing magic system that is never fully explained
