I really like the idea of this tag, basically what I’m going to do is talk about the traits that I didn’t like in one book or series and recommend another book from that, this way you might find a book similar, that you enjoy. Here’s the original tag! X
PROS
- Really inventive plot
CONS
- Vomit-inducing romance
- Painfully obvious plot twists
- Annoying main character
I really disliked the Firebird trilogy but I know that I am in the minority. So if by some crazy chance any of you guys didn’t like the trilogy, you might like The Rig by Joe Ducie.
- Unique friend group
- interesting plot
- No love triangle
PROS
- Set in Australia
- Diverse main character
CONS
- Annoying and unappreciative main character
- Not so great family communication
So the main reason I recommend this is because Henry Hoey Hobson is also set in Australia. actually, it’s set right down the road from where I live which excites me to no end. HHH is one of my favourite books, I’ve probably read it 20 times since it came out back in 2010. It’s very much a family story like Looking For Alibrandi but personally, I much prefer the main character.
- Set in Aus
- Good family communication
- Awesome neighbours
- Realistic single parent familial situation
PROS
- There are literally none, I hated this book so much ohmygod
CONS
- The whole book
- If you want overbearing romance and little to no plot this is your book.
The Final Empire, unlike some books *glares at picture of FOTR* is an amazing piece of literature that should be remembered for centuries.
- There is a plot and it is amazing
- Really great cast of characters
- Brandon Sanderson is actually a god?
- Also High Fantasy
- So quotable, it’s ridiculous
PROS
- Really awesome format
- Quotable
CONS
- Boring plot
- Unbelievable romance
- Seriously boring as bat shit
If you haven’t heard of this book, what have you been doing? Sleeping Giants reminds me of a sort of clash of The Iron Giant and the Atlantis films.
- Original and Unique plot
- The same format as Illuminae
- Different characters (personality wise)
- Really good audiobook

Thank you! I really value honesty in people, especially in bloggers as I can’t actually see their faces. So, I figure I should practice what I preach. Also, giving your honest opinion is just healthier! 😍

I also disliked A Thousand Pieces of You! You are not alone! The cover is gorgeous and the premise is great but..it definitely did not meet my expectations.
I totally agree with the Mistborn recommendation. Sanderson is one of my favorite authors.

I’m so glad i’m not the only one who didn’t like ATPOU!I was really excited to read it but it totally let me down!
Sanderson is definitely one of my top 3 authors if not my favourite author!

What an interesting tag! I have disliked lots of popular books, maybe I should do this one and recommend some better books to people 😉 I haven’t read any of these, but The Rig looks interesting!

That’s what I love about this tag – you can try and recommend books based off faults you found in previous ones!
I do hope you give The Rig a go or add
