I know I was wondering what happened to the series with NiC. I clung on through the WTFery of CS, but ID had to be it. It took me four attempts to start the book because every time I got to page eight, I declared it the worst. book. ever. stopped reading and put it back in my locker.

For MG it was definitely Seduced By Moonlight and the first sentence put me right off - but I struggled through. When it got to Merry dying and getting resurrected by TEH DIETY, I was ready to set things on fire. Then again, MG books never sat right with me because they hold your hand and explain everything that doesn't need the exposition and then skims over all the WTF parts. Also, I am not a political idiot - my little finger can create a better court intrigue than what's going on there right now. I'm only hanging in there for my fucking Sholto porn that was promised back in book one! A Stroke of Midnight sits unread after over a year on my bookshelf.

Given how painful Danse Macabre is, I don't know if I'll continue with AB:VH. I keep telling myself that I will, but dude - the previews and other people's snarks have been painful enough. The real thing? OMG. This should be banned under the Geneva Convention as a form of cruel and unusual punishment. Goodness knows, I do not want to pay for these books any more.
