I’m really glad I waited to read this until after I read the Iliad. I wasn’t planning on the Iliad but I ended up taking a classical literature course where I needed to read it. I’m very happy to go into this book knowing the cast of characters and one side of the story

Heeello everyone,
What's one book for you that was an unbelievable letdown? I'm talking soul-crushing, frustrating, want-to-throw-the-book-across-the-room vibe.
Also, absolutely no judgement here!
Also also, spoilers (just in case)
I'll go first ~ The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd
I love mystery and I love maps (I even make maps for fun) and this book combined the two, with magic, and it had such a promising start as well. Until....for 80% of it, there was nothing but all exposition and treating the main character as if she were ten years old. And the 'love interest' was a d*** 😒. And there was no plot to speak of. I've never felt so drained after reading a book and so so so very disappointed.

Whether you love to hate or hate to love 'em, these literary bad girls are anything but well-behaved. *Disclaimer: we do not literally support the illegal and oft cruel behavior of these protagonists (usually); we support the authors bold enough to write them (always).

Not for me.
Some of the font was difficult to read and I felt like I missed some of the story because of it.
It did pick up more so towards the end, may or may not give volume two a chance

I’ve been thinking a lot about tie-in novels made for TV shows, movies, video games. I used to not like tie-ins because they felt a little cash-grabby to me (and maybe they still are). But now I’ve gotten curious about them for my favorite shows & games! I’m a huge fan of Avatar The Last Airbender and while I enjoyed the comics, I LOVED the Avatar Kyoshi and Avatar Yangchen novels 😍 I felt they expanded on a time period barely touched in the show and provided more context on the world’s lore. I hope we see more novels in the future, especially one starring Avatar Kuruk or Avatar Szeto! I’m also a big fan of Dungeons & Dragons and have been slowly working my way through the Drizzt novels. I remember liking the first one, but I might need to reread it since it’s been a while and I’ve forgotten everything that’s happened 😅
Have you read a tie-in novel that helped you appreciate a show or game you loved? Maybe it answered a question you had? Or maybe you were left with more questions than answers after your reading 👀
