Red Rising. The whole series, really. They're probably fun for a 10 year old but... I am not a kid anymore. As much as I sometimes wish I were.

I don't know, maybe I'm missing something. But it seems like the author couldn't focus on his own story. Just "and then this happened, and then this, and then this" with no details or reasoning.

Gormenghast. I got about 100 pages in, bored off my ass, saw that I still had like 1000 more pages to go, and was just like "...nah, I'm good."

The Redemption of Althalus by David and Leigh Eddings. It was like a 5-year old had written an epic fantasy novel spanning several millenia.

Wow I enjoyed this one back in the day. It advertised itself as self contained fantasy novel, no prequels sequels or junk, which was mostly what sold me on picking it up.

Threads like this always carry the risk that somebody liked the thing. Sorry.
