i am sorry.. i was hoping a better opinion for that book.. :p

It definitely started slow, but by the end it was my favorite book of the year (tied with None Of This Is True) so far. But Dungeon Crawler Carl is gunning for the top spot for sure.

I love you Matt but why give it a one star if you "didn't read enough to give a qualified opinion"?

Because I hated it and reserve 1 stars to books I hate so much that I DNF. I'm holding off giving a full review though because I didn't read enough of the book to merit that - but it's absolutely a "1 star" for me.

Looks like the "Book That Wouldn't Burn" just got... burned. Marky Larry ain't rising from those ashes. Alright, I'm done.

Don't leave a review then if it's not your kind of book lol

I make it a point NOT to read book genres that I am not into...eg romance. I am still reading it and I understand it is a slow crunch, the creativity of it is what wows me. I took a break to read other books but I will definitely finish it.

Pete, the problem is you don't know if it's your kind of book or not. Mark Lawrence is a well known and established fantasy author. So you'd expect a good book from him.

I got to about the 25% mark and had to give up. I think I'll come back to it eventually and read the physical copy rather than audiobook it. Was just far too boring for me unfortunately:(

Really rude of you to say you didn't read enough to give a qualified opinion and still leave a 1 star review

Then don’t rate it �.

Hey matt that's exactly what happened to me!

That ain't right dude! Maybe take down your review if you didn't read enough to review! How inconsiderate!

One star ratings are as important as any of the other when checking out a new book. This rating, on the other hand, is completely useless.

Totally agree Matt. I got to about the 25 percent mark and gave up unfortunately...I think Book of the Ancestor or Red Queens War will be more my jam:)

I agree. I liked some of his other books, but this one read like a mystical young romance book, which isn't my thing, so I dnf'd it. Was boring and not interesting enough to finish. Dnf @ 38 %

This is awful why would you leave 1 star on something you've not finished?!

You can't review it without having read it.

Thanks for giving this 1 star even though you DNFed! It helped me find and pick up this one.

I also choose to rate my DNFs, because that's my opinion of the parts of the book that I read. I feel like people who say that you can't review a book without first finishing it are taking the reviewing process too seriously. It's about opinions, not objective facts, and you don't need to read every page of a book to develop an opinion on it. Perhaps if book reviews were factual ratings of the objective quality of the book then reading the whole book would be necessary, but that's really not the point; and kind of counter to the whole idea of personal taste in art.

I am curious tho, around what point did you DNF it?

You can't then give it a star rating if you didnt read enough of it to give it a review! So silly.

wait for it....the end will make up for the boring side, I changed my mind when I reached the last chapters

"didn't read enough to have a qualified opinion" . rates the book one star :)

You didn’t read enough to give a qualified opinion and then left one star? Review foul! What a terrible thing to do to a gifted author. It ANY author.

I like Matt and I enjoy watching his review. However, this kind of thing is annoying. Don't 1 star a book you haven't read!

I don’t know call me crazy but if you didn’t read enough to have a qualified opinion maybe you shouldn’t review the book?!

"I read 25% of it and I got bored so I gave it 1 star."

The first 25% is the worst part of the book though. It gets better and better as you go through. Plot twists 3/4 of the way through completely recontextualize the rest of the book.

And yet you star rated it! Jfc

You just did give your opinion.

Thanks for rating it! Gives us skeptical folks a real read on how many people DNF because they got bored lol
