DNF'd at 30%
My Thoughts:
My first DNF of the year. Man, I was bored with this story. There are several factors leading into that though.
First, I have had a string of 4star books since the beginning of the year. My standards were thus higher.
Second, I was on the fence about Forgotten Realms the whole of last year and kept giving them chance after chance. This year, No More Mr Nice Guy.
Third, I don't want to keep on eating badly cooked literary mac-n-cheese where I KNOW that half the stuff is half-baked.
Finally, work was physically brutal this week and I ended up taking today off because of how hard Monday-Thursday had gone. Hiking an hour using showshoes, carrying 60lbs of equipment, shovelling out traverse stations all day, breaking trail, pulling a sled filled with 200lbs of equipment during the day, then ending the day by hiking an hour out with 60lbs of equipment again.
If I had read this last year, I probably would have given it 2.5stars and struggled through the final book in the trilogy. Not this year. I am done with this book and this trilogy and the whole Forgotten Realms series. It is written for a completely different target audience than me and I need to stop trying to shoehorn myself into that demographic. Objectively, it was the same as the first book, but I just don't have the patience to deal with it anymore.
I have enough books on my Oasis and in Calibre to last me 2 years. That's if I don't add a single thing. So why should I persist in adding books that have an extremely high chance of being lower than 3stars? Not worth it.
