Sword of Truth series for me.

Oh this one is really something. Even as a clueless teen I still had WTF moments, and I don't even want to read it now, I just know I will be cringing the whole time.

If I had read that series a few years earlier I probably would have liked it. It felt like the author just hated women, and I was just old enough to go “What the hell?”

Edit: It’s been a while, can’t remember if this is the one I’m thinking of or if I read a similar series at the same time.

No, I think you're thinking of the correct one. There's a lot of weird sexual hangups about women in there that seem odd as a teen, and disqualifyingly gross as an adult.

I remember trying this series out in my teens, having already gone trough quite a few, and I remember it being the first book I just dropped under a half trough, but I couldn't remember why until know. I just remembered it as shallow and depressing to read.

About half way through is the weird sex torture that just comes out of nowhere. That could be why.

[–] Gathorall@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't think I even got that far. I remember it being quite off almost immediately, I was already giving it a chance and it just did not get better.

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 3 points 3 days ago

I wish I didn't finish it, but it was part of a book trade where a friend and I read a recommendation from each other. We don't talk anymore.

You're a better person for giving up.
