I have read thousands of sci fi and fantasy books now and have been running out of good ones to read, so I asked AI for recommendations based on other books I liked. Gemini recommended I read Empire of Silence by Christopher Ruocchio. I bought the book for $10.
I tried reading it and got about 11% in and just could not go further it was so poorly written. It was a daylight robbery of all the ideas from a much better book, Dune. I don’t even mind that, as long as the story is well written and engaging. This story though was boring and so poorly written I couldn’t stay with it.
