The Emperor’s New Clothes Tag

The fabulous Organgutan Librarian tagged me in her new Emperor’s New Clothes Tag, and I am excited to share my answers!  Here we go!

“Your majesty, this is a magic suit!”– An over-hyped book that promised to be *something more*:

I was so excited about this book, and I was very underwhelmed.  I still plan on continuing the series, but it keeps getting pushed farther down the TBR list. You can see my full review here.

“Somebody send for the queen!”– A love interest that wasn’t called for:

Quinn from The Sookie Stackhouse novels was pretty insignificant.  I liked him, but meh.  He was cut out of the Trueblood TV show for a reason.

“The doublet is a lovely shade of green”– A book that seduced you with its cover (that you ended up disliking):

Witches in France?! Count me in! Unfortunately, the story inside this beautiful cover did not live up to expectations

“Summon the court to convene”– A book where you were swayed by public opinion:

I read this book because everyone was talking and raving about it.  I thought it was pretty good, didn’t die for it, but I jumped on the band wagon anyway.  The second book though, made me obsessed.

“Look at the king! Look at the king, the king, the king!”– A stark raving mad book that just boggles the mind:

This book was crazy.  There was hardly any forward moving plot that made sense.  So boring.

“It’s altogether the very least the king has ever worn”– A tropey get-up you’ve seen before that probably needs redressing (AKA a trope you’re bored with seeing):

Enough said.

“Summon the court physician! Call an intermission!”– A book that needs medical attention (AKA a rewrite):

I LOVED the first two books in this trilogy, and I loved this one until the end.  WHO ENDS A TRILOGY LIKE THIS!? WHY!?

“It’s altogether the very least the king has ever worn”– There’s no hiding this one: A book that is just nakedly bad:

So bad.  How I got through this book I will never know.
