A Court of Mist and Fury

1 in this series was a smidge better, and its ending propelled me to give COMAF a try. I wish I hadn't - I actually stopped reading about 2/3rds through. As A Court of Mist and Fury putters along, I felt myself become bored: annoyed by the flat character development, plot holes, and “info dumps”: long sections of recap or backstory that should have artfully been woven into the narrative, but are dumped in the readers' lap like a tub of ice water over your head. So many opportunities of foreshadowing, utterly wasted - just like my time reading this.
