I'm no stranger to bad genre fantasy books. The sins of the sword and sorcery lot are familiar to me, but sometimes I'm thrown for a loop. Like when two authors with half a century in the genre create some of the worst books I've ever finished.
Normally I'd say, "don't waste your time and TBR on things you hate." Life is short, and unless you are obligated to do so (like you make a bad book podcast, or you're being paid to edit or review such a work), you aren't going to get anything out of finishing dreck. In this particular case, I can almost use the trilogy as examples of what NOT to do in epic fantasy.
