Ugh. I'm really struggling to finish Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning. I'm over the halfway mark but it's driving me crazy. I need to finish it so it doesn't end up on my December Challenge (to re-read all the books I couldn't finish during 2011).
I'd been really looking forward to starting this series and I was really excited to start the first book. I just couldn't get into it. I was hoping that it would get going and improve after a few chapters, it was the first book after all. Maybe it was me. Maybe I'd hyped it up too much in my head. Had I built it up into something it wasn't?
I can't stand Mac, and Barrons... words fail me.
Please tell me that it gets better, that it'll be worth it in the end?

Hello! Thank you for following. I look forward to having a look around you blog. I love both mythology and dystopia so I'm sure I'll love it :)
ReplyDeleteSo, I know you posted this a few days ago...but I just had to comment anyway. I tried the Fever books and didn't like them.

I found the female character (can't even remember her name) annoying as all get-out, and that Barron dude was a jerk. It was one of those books where I was glad I had borrowed it from the library, so I could send it back guilt-free. :)
I risk life and limb posting this in the hopes it will appease your guilt should you decide not to finish the book...

Thank you, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI feel less abnormal now I know someone else couldn't like this book. I thought it was me, that I was missing something because so many trusted reviewers liked it.
I am not alone! :)
Although for some strange reason I can't quite let go just yet "/ I'll have to give it one last try.
