I DNFed Lin Cixin "The Dark Forest" at 30% ... I really could not get past the shallow characters and boring writing style. Topic was really intriguing and I'm sad not able to grind through it to know what happens, but at the same time.. I was hoping that after same issues on book 1, I could get used to it, but it was just grind...
So I started to reread Brandon Sanderson "Wax and Wayne" series again and was immediately relieved how easy it is to read.
