by amyleighreads8 Comments on Disappointing Books of 2023

This is five books I read this year that disappointed me for one reason or another. These aren’t necessarily books I hated, I just might have been underwhelmed by them or they didn’t live up to the hype.

Happy Place by Emily Henry

I had high expectations because I’ve loved all of Emily Henry’s books so far but this one didn’t gel with me

Cackle by Rachel Harrison

The premise seemed right up my alley but this was a bit boring

Midnight is the Darkest Hour by Ashley Winstead

I had such high hopes for this but it was a giant fail!

The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang

I had high expectations as I loved the other 2 books in this series but this was forgettable

How to Sell A Haunted House by Grady Hendrix

This fell flat!

The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake

I had high expectations because of how hyped this book was but it was sooo boring!

Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson

This felt like a filler book in this series, I liked the novellas better!

Daughter of the Siren Queen by Tricia Levenseller

I still liked this book but I thought it was going to be even better than the first and it wasn’t.

Well Matched by Jen DeLuca

I was expecting so much more this was slow and not spicy enough for me!

Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune

Wasn’t bad but everything you think is going to happen happens.

This is five books I read this year that disappointed me for one reason or another. These aren’t necessarily books I hated, I just might have been underwhelmed by them or they didn’t live up to the hype.

My most disappointing books are:

Aurora’s End by Jay Kristoff & Amie Kaufman

This ending wasn’t as impactful and as fulfilling as what I was expecting

Witchshadow by Susan Dennard

The story just veered far from where I thought it headed..

Legendborn by Tracy Deonn

This book was really hyped and it took me a long time to get into it

The Storm of Echoes by Christelle Dabos

I was confused and underwhelmed throughout this book

The Girl and the Stars by Mark Lawrence

Another book I was highly anticipating and it fell a little flat

This is five books I read this year that disappointed me for one reason or another. These aren’t necessarily books I hated, I just might have been underwhelmed by them or they didn’t live up to the hype.

My most disappointing books are:

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

I have loved all of Leigh Bardugo’s books so far but this was severely underwhelming for me.

Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron

Didn’t live up to the hype in my opinion.

Into the Crooked Place by Alexandra Christo

I really thought I was going to love this book but I found it kind of mediocre.

Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson

I just didn’t gel with the premise and storyline of this book. Sanderson’s prose was of course immaculate though!

A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A. Brown

Again I expected a bit more from this book, a little let down.
