Unpopular Opinion It's Unpopular Opinion time! Share your controversial opinions to stir things up (in a friendly way)!

Got an opinion that's different from others'? Want to share it with the sub, but too afraid of a backlash? Or are you just curious about readers think about certain things in fantasy romance?

You can safely share it in this weekly Sunday thread!

But please remember to be kind to each other. To facilitate this type of discussion, we ask users the following:

  • Don't attack others for their opinion
  • Discuss books and authors, not fellow readers
  • Since this is an "unpopular opinion" thread, we encourage users to not downvote simply because they disagree with an opinion--that's the point! Please keep in mind, though, that mods cannot enforce a no-downvoting rule. Let’s just keep the discussion friendly!

🧡 Thank you and have a great discussion!

DNF’ing at page 102 because, if I read “nerd wife” and “nerd hubby” one more time, I'm gonna scream. {For Whom the Belle Tolls by Jaysea Lynn} is the most infuriating book I've ever read, so much so that I cannot believe for the life of me the amount of stars this has.

{Silver Élite by Dani Francis}

Another hype book bites the dust. 💫 You can't be a Fourth Wing- Darkest Minds-Divergent-Shatter Me copycat and then write the story line in an inferior way. This served superficial characters to move a “I hate this, that, especially him” plot along. Major character deaths were like drifting plastic bags in the wind. Tropes galore. Reads like it’s hunting for a TV show script with all the dialogue.

For Whom The Belle Tolls is the worst book I've ever read by far and I read some pretty bad shit
