Erm what? Pretty much all books have some sort of multiple POV going on, care to be a little more specific in what you actually dislike?I wanted to read that, is it multiple POVs? I really hate that in books

Just finished Redbreast by Jo Nesbo. Heard it's his best but I really struggled to get going with it. Was an interesting finish but didn't really do it for me.
I'm reading this at the moment.
I've read the Snowman, The Batman and Cockroaches and have thoroughly enjoyed them all.
I'm struggling with this one though, I'm around half way through but just can't get into it.
I usually read an entire book in a week but this one has been even longer. I get really bored with the WW2 sections
It is a young adult book and not his normal style, don't expect anything like the Law series in those books. I'm skipping them personally, I enjoy the style of the Law series and that wouldn't work in a YA book.
Half way through The Desert Spear by Peter V. Brett. It's really good, though I prefer the origin stories in the first book (The Painted Man) more.
Enjoyable series, recommend it![]()

What to read next ? I think I may dip into some Sci-fi : Red Rising, The Martian or Ancillary Justice perhaps ...
As with the first Sharpe novel, I enjoyed it but the story isn't that exciting. Have the 3rd one on my wishlist, but won't be reading it for a while. I finished this the day before my holiday, which meant that I could read Half a King whilst awayNow I'm reading Sharpe's Triumph, the 2nd in the Sharpe series.
I bought the hardback of this, then decided it is easier to read on the Kindle, so I bought another copy of it. I enjoyed the story and the characters, but I do understand where you're coming from. There isn't anything at the end which leaves me desperately wanting the next book.Just finishing Half a King by Joe Abercrombie. Disappointingly, I haven't found the book particularly engaging. However, I wouldn't describe it as bad , and it is a fairly brisk read compared to the "tomes" I'm accustomed to. To be fair, the book is marketed as a YA novel, so perhaps it's my fault for expecting more. I've found the plot to be rather predictable, plus the characterisation isn't up to Joe's usual standards
Thanks, looking for a new series to read and will give this a try.
Picked up books 1-4 on kindle for £3.49 (ebook collection).
Did you get around to reading these? What did you think?
