A Forest Of Vanity And Valour by A.P. Beswick
Did not finish book.

Just couldn't get into it

Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake
Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.

Too much world building at the beginning, with switching povs, and side characters all introduced at once, I was so confused...
The dialogue was...lacking life to be honest, and the three sisters were also lacking any interesting quirks that made them different from each other. Sometimes I wouldn't realize a pov had switched because they all seemed the same, minus their powers.
Thought maybe it was just me, but after reading all the other reviews I decided not to spend precious time on something I wasn't enjoying when the biggest plot point doesn't even happen until later in the series.
