What were disappointments for you?

I did come on to write a book-ban update with mini reviews for what I have read... BUT.. I really want to do a pot on this:

''What books/series etc. have you found to be a big disappointment?'' 

I try to go into every book with very, very low expectations  even if I know I'm going to love it to avoid disappointment although sometimes it isn't easy. Here are my top 3 book disappointments, my next post will be 'Top 5 books/series that I didn't think I would like but loved''

Anyway, on to the list:


1. The Iron Fey Series by Julie Kagawa.

Eh, I know a lot of people would kill me for this judgement but I honestly didn't really like this trilogy. I didn't like any of the characters and I thought the relationship between Meghan and Ash was just silly and cheesy. Well, I liked the first book but after reading 2 and 3 my whole opinion of the series isn't that positive. I don't know, I'll re-read it in a few months maybe my opinion will be higher then.

2. The way of the shadows by Brent Weeks

I was really looking forward to this one. It was alright but the ending left me with no desire to read the other 2.

3.The Iron Witch by Karen Mahoney

This one looked very good and I couldn't wait for my pre-order to come but after I read it it eared a rare 1 star. Why? It was the same thing over and over again, the main character explaining the same things over and over again to different people. Then a lot of the book was her feeling sorry for herself and come on would someone get bullied as bad as she did for wearing gloves in real life? I also felt like not much happened and then it the last section of the book lots happened quickly. For me this is a big miss.


What are your disappointments? I was originally going to do 5 but any other book I have a low opinion of I expected it. Feel free to do 5 if you hae 5 (:
