I WISH YOU HAPPY (Kerry Anne King) - November 29/19

Sigh. I can't say I enjoyed this too much. It's relatively short but it felt endless, basically. The characters are fine, if a little too quirky, but I just never cared about anything that was happening. I think I need to stick with known authors for the next little while. *1/2 out of ****

RED RISING (Pierce Brown) - November 13/19

Oh, no. Oh, dear. Read this based on Jason's recommendation and it's the last time I'll read something he likes. This was just awful. An interminable, endless slog through a series of dystopian cliches. There are so many descriptive battle scenes that I was skimming over large chunks of this mess. Needless to say I shan't be reading further installments. no stars out of ****
