What is a highly recommended book you read and hated?

@dirge I haven’t read it, but I’ve seen quite a bit of the show. I could imagine that book being very hard to get through

@whisperingwillow I just found it wildly boring. mostly random, things done for unexplained reasons, then have to work through miles of backstory to indirectly tell me how the world got to this place. I like dystopia, I like unravelling things, or I used to... that was just too much and far too slow a process for me.

@dirge God how I detest that style of writing but it seems to be all the rage. In fiction I mostly like a good story straightforwardly told; pretty hard to find now.

@Really Oh man, I feel you! I recently discovered my least favorite writing style when I read Kushiel’s Dart. I don’t want to bash the book…great plot and characters. The writing style about killed me though! Nearly every sentence had :/; and it just felt like every sentence went on and on and on. I’d rather just get to the point and keep moving forward lol
