Bailedbailed

I was really excited to read this, but, like the reviews have indicated, not so much witchcraft vibes. I am putting this book aside for now as well. I am officially in a book slump after all my anticipated new year releases have been 3 stars at best and quite a few I can't get into. Sad.

#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 🙌🏻 4d
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!❤️❤️❤️📚 4d
dabbe @CatLass007 Right back atcha, m'dear! 🩵🩶🩵 4d

#LiteraryCrew I listened to the first two hours and this isn‘t really holding my interest. There are plenty of other books out there and I‘ve decided it‘s time to #HailTheBail!

Librarybelle Thanks for trying! 5d
CatLass007 @Librarybelle I really wanted to like this but I guess it wasn‘t meant to be. Please tag me when the questions go up because I‘d really like to see what others think of it. 5d
Librarybelle Will do! 5d

Sargar114 It‘s definitely a slow start, I also read at the end of the day, but I find myself falling asleep reading. 3d
CatLass007 @Sargar114 I tried listening to the The Martian Chronicles and fell asleep four different times throughout the day. When I tried listening to this I also fell asleep. Then I started listening to Wool and I was riveted. I‘m generally a mood reader and the first two books I tried the other day were just too slow for me. 3d

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 ✨️ 4d
PuddleJumper @AbigailJaneBlog No, I've not read anytime by the author. I didn't realize this was part of a bigger series 4d
AbigailJaneBlog @PuddleJumper If you're interested, definitely check out the Magicians Guild, it's one of my favourites! 3d
PuddleJumper @AbigailJaneBlog I think I will. I've heard good things about her other series 3d
AbigailJaneBlog @PuddleJumper honestly its one of my fave series - it gets a reread every few years. 3d

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! 😆 1w
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 1w

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. 1w
britt_brooke @TheDaysGoBy I might have to google spoilers. 😂 7d
britt_brooke @MeganAnn The writing is so bad. I also didn‘t like the audio narration. Might‘ve been a better experience in print. 7d
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 7d
britt_brooke @TheDaysGoBy Ha!! The main narrator made me hate Violet. (edited) 7d
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?” 7d

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. 1w
DieAReader @wanderinglynn 😫Very much so. 1w

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.
