The Night Angel trilogy. I got about half way into the 3rd book and realized I was just forcing myself to read it. The characters sucks. The MC was either OP or didn't know wtf to do. The authors description of women is mildly sexist. Every girl was some bombshell or ugly as a foot and their only relevance was to be some kind of sex symbol. The book series seems like a neckbeard's paradise

I felt a bit similar with The Lightbringer, just started book 3 couple of weeks back, I was enjoying the book when I was reading, but when I wasn't reading, I didn't want to start reading it. So, taking a break from the series, and reading some other books in the mean time. Will try to get back to it in a few months.

Don't do it 😆. Just read something better. Like Brandon Sanderson or R A Salvatore or Terry Pratchett or..... Well I could go on but you get the idea.

Omg same! Glad I wasn't alone with this thought. Another point I strongly disliked was the resolution of Kylars hand it was literally resolved first thing in book 3.
