Tried the audio. At about 15% I realized that probably this one is not for me. At least, not as a first book. I understand that there is also an order of publication, though some book tubers (as well as the intro by the author) tell it is okay to read starting here. The writing is good, but I could not keep up with what was going on, mainly because being a fantasy book it is full of unfamiliar names, places, world building. And it was too much for me to be immersed too quickly ( esp. for someone who doesn’t read fantasy on a regular basis). I heard a lot of praise for this series.

I recently read The Book that Wouldn't Burn and I had a really hard time finishing it. I usually spend 3-5 days on a book and this one took a month. I complained about it to my friends/family (non-readers) and they all said something along the lines of "why don't you just DNF it ?"

The thing is I personally don't like DNF'ing books. I feel like I invested time and energy (and also money) and if I DNF, then it's wasted. This means that I will force myself to finish a book even if I hate it, which kinda defeats the purpose of reading for pleasure.

What do you think about DNF'ing books ? Do you do it ? How do you feel about it ?

PS : I am absolutely not judging people who can and do DNF !!

I’m looking for Book buddies, who will share their opinion on books and won’t mind if I share my opinion on certain books :) Just a few people to interact on here because📖 - Tbh I don’t really have a lot of people irl that read so I would love to finally chat with a few bookworms 😊 🐛
