#ClassicLSFBC The Martian Chronicles is a classic of science fiction literature. But I fell asleep four times while listening to the audiobook and I decided that was enough. #HailTheBail!

dabbe YES! #betterbooksahead 🙌🏻 2d
CatLass007 @dabbe #BetterBooksAhead is the hashtag I was trying so hard to remember. I think I‘ll start tagging you whenever I bail on a book. You are always so encouraging about bailing! I didn‘t even know it was possible to bail on a book before I joined Litsy 7+ years ago. I love everyone I‘ve met on here!❤️❤️❤️📚 2d
dabbe @CatLass007 Right back atcha, m'dear! 🩵🩶🩵 2d

Ended up DNFing this one. I wasn't into it at all.

I'm not commenting on the content of the book because I only got about 5 chapters in. It seemed fine, I just didn't think this was what I wanted right now.

AbigailJaneBlog Have you read the prequel trilogy? It's muuuch better imo ✨️ 2d
PuddleJumper @AbigailJaneBlog No, I've not read anytime by the author. I didn't realize this was part of a bigger series 2d
AbigailJaneBlog @PuddleJumper If you're interested, definitely check out the Magicians Guild, it's one of my favourites! 24h
PuddleJumper @AbigailJaneBlog I think I will. I've heard good things about her other series 22h
AbigailJaneBlog @PuddleJumper honestly its one of my fave series - it gets a reread every few years. 21h

As I came to the fourth and longest chapter in this book, I realised I really didn't care enough to go on. DNF

BAIL ❌ This kind of writing is exhausting. So much telling with little showing. So basic. A line of dialogue followed by, essentially, stage directions. Over and over for eternity. Once this clicked in my brain, it couldn‘t be undone. And I feel like this could take place anywhere just add some cool creatures; a severe lack of world building. I was quickly reminded of why I rated Iron Flame only 3 stars. After 8 chapters, I‘m out.

britt_brooke @dabbe I never bail. I‘m proud of myself! 😆 5d
TheDaysGoBy I read Fourth Wing and Iron Flame and I hate that I‘m kinda curious where the story went. But the writing style was dreadful - completely agree with you 5d

MeganAnn This is one of the reasons I‘m very hesitant to start this series, even though I‘m mildly curious to see what all the hype is about. 5d
britt_brooke @TheDaysGoBy I might have to google spoilers. 😂 5d
britt_brooke @MeganAnn The writing is so bad. I also didn‘t like the audio narration. Might‘ve been a better experience in print. 5d
TheDaysGoBy @britt_brooke It‘s not much better in print 😂 I can only imagine how the audio is. I typically can‘t do fiction on audio because the voices narrators do sometimes I find super annoying 5d
britt_brooke @TheDaysGoBy Ha!! The main narrator made me hate Violet. (edited) 5d
5feet.of.fury @britt_brooke I love an unpopular opinion 😂, I am enjoying it, and I knew what to expect as I had audiobooked the other 2, but this narrator is not my favorite. She does the same growl voice for Xaden, Tairn & sometimes Violet and I‘m like “who tf is talking?” 5d
britt_brooke @5feet.of.fury 😆 5d

I wanted to love this, I really did. Having had no cable📺 until after I was 12, there was a lot of TNG to go around🛸 I‘m was & an a fan of Stewart‘s acting however this, for me was a dud. #HailTheBail at 30%

wanderinglynn Same. I DNF‘d it too. So disappointing. 5d
DieAReader @wanderinglynn 😫Very much so. 5d

Sorry, #HitchtoScreen. I just couldn‘t stand to be with these people a moment longer.

I tried reading this book TWICE. I made it to page 76 this time, but the writing is messy and sidetracks every other page. Nothing really interesting has happened, and all the characters are weird and not in an appealing way. Couldn‘t connect to anything.

Enough with nonsense word salad. Be gone! 😂

The title is the only good part of this book.

4/80
