I really appreciate you sharing your honest opinions, Angie, as I think we have very similar tastes. Those things you mentioned would have bothered me, too. Happy Holidays to you! ☕️
I haven’t read any of these. I struggle with DNF’ing books, it makes me feel unaccomplished. 😂 But fortunately, I’m so careful with picking that it doesn’t happen very often.
So many booktubers have said they didn’t like The Ashes and the Star Cursed King. I read the first book and loved it UNTIL the ending. I hated the ending. I feel like no one has said that about the first book. I decided not to read the 2nd because I felt the ending from the first was setting it up for a disappointing read. And because I have yet to find someone say they enjoyed it. 😂
I think The Familiar was my biggest disappointment of 2024. I love, LOVE Ninth House and Hell Bent so I was excited to read another adult book by her and I love historical fiction and historical fantasy so this seemed a perfect fit for me. I predicted it would be a 5-star read for me. But I did not like it. I could have entirely gone without the competition (which is a huge part of the book) as it felt confusing, and somehow high stakes and boring at the same time. I read part of it and listened to part of it (hoping one would work for me) and was also really disappointed in Lauren Fortgang’s narration (and I have loved other books she’s done). I wanted Spanish accents or something.

🫖 I felt the same way about The Tempest of Tea. The heist had my head spinning. Happy holidays!! 🌲

From the books presented by you,the only one I 've read îs None of this îs true" by Lisa Jewell. I really liked it
The Familiar made my list too, I was so sad about it!

I liked “none of this is true” but I listened to it on audio and I think that really helped
ashes of a star crossed king was terrible lol

I loved such sharp teeth and did not like cackle. Tempest of tea has become forgettable to me and i probably won't continue with the series either.

I didn’t like None of This is True either!!!! I think you and I are the only ones though.
