My most disappointing reads of 2022 :(

[@esmayrosalyne]

Eeeeek, I have been putting off Fevered Star because of all the lukewarm reviews and my motivation to continue that series keeps dropping by the day, lol. Can totally see what you mean with First Law, I had the exact same experience on my first read but then I reread them on audio last year and I enjoyed them a lot more. Hoping that the standalones and Age of Madness will be hits for me this year. And I actually read all 5 Lightbringer books and had an okay enough time with them (didn't even mind the ending that much), but there are honestly so many other more exciting series out there that I can't blame you for cutting your losses here. Loved this video, thanks for sharing your list 🤩

I’m glad Lightbringer worked for you! I’m reading The Heroes this month and I’m hoping I like it!

Love the honesty in the vid! You made a great life decision DNF’ing Lightbringer where you did-I’d like to get those months back in my life when I was slogging through those last bunch of books !

[@jordanreads]

Yeah I haven’t heard many great things about the end of that series 😅

[@VenusEscapesToRead]

I’m still bummed about Fairy Tale!🤦🏽‍♀️ Ouch…First Law Trilogy and Faithful and the Fallen! 😩🤣 I’m impressed you made it through 4 books of the WoT.😂 So glad I unhauled The Lightbringer series and didn’t bother with Fevered Sun!😬 Awesome video!

Thanks Venus! I knew you would be bummed about those 🥹 I wish I liked them more!

I understand the disappointment of FATF. I read the series in late 2020 to early 2021 when the KZbin hype machine was still relatively recent so I didn't have the same levels of anticipation as a lot of newer readers have now. I enjoyed them. They were very effective palate cleansers for me. Yes they're beefy but easy to read and follow. But they'll never be a favourite for me. I will read the sequel trilogy eventually but I haven't been missing the world enough (yet) to want to. I've been warming up to trying Wheel of Time again, a mistake I was making was I was hoping to binge read them so the pacing frustrated me. Cuz I loved the first three books for the most part and I'd have months or weeks inbetween them. Abercrombie 😭 lol

I know 🥹🥹 I wanted to like first law so much more. But I still have hope for the next series! Just gotta wrap up these standalones.

[@agentswarley]

I felt the same about first law! I feel less alone now 😅

[@jordanreads]

Thank goodness 😅

[@RekindledReader]

They can't all be winners! Thanks for the video...even though...FATF makes me sad LOL. But we'll articulated criticisms!

[@jordanreads]

Hey, at least we agree on first law 😅
