Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant
2.0
Dropped at 20%.
Guys, I'm not here to learn about climate change. I'm not here to learn about the environment. I'm not here to become an amateur marine biologist. I am HERE to read a story about people getting attacked by mermaids in the Marina Trench, and apparently while that is supposedly the plot of the story, the story is taking its sweet old fucking time getting there. I am not saying that what I've read up until this point is bad, and you're free to rag on me for dropping it so early, but the fact of the matter is I'm not getting what I want. I'm being water boarded with info dump after FUCKING info dump and am surrounded by characters I either actively hate or couldn't give less of a fuck about. And that's not a good time, in my book.
Is this a bad novel? No. But it definitely disappointed me with what I read and I have no desire to finish reading it. Hate me all you want, but my time is too valuable to drag myself through pages and pages of bullshit. If you like, great. If you still want to read it, great. But I'm done and I have zero shame in calling it quits.
