I hadn't DNFed a book in a year and a half before I dove into this one. And I can honestly say I've never been sadder to not finish a book. But it simply was not going well. And I think this could very much be a case of "it isn't the book, it's me", so please take this into account. Sometimes I don't get along with fantasy as much as other genres, and sometimes it's definitely me! I made it to about.... 20% before I called it. And I hate calling it, as you know.
But I just couldn't. I didn't care about the magic or the characters. And it felt kind of similar to the author's first series? Different location and such, but yeah. I could also tell where the romance was headed, the whole "we're bonded so rules say we can't be in love" bit, and I find that incredibly frustrating to read, so that didn't help.
Bottom Line: I just couldn't care, try as I might. So I stopped, rather than hate it and being more sad.
