If I find a book boring I do not even read it till the end. It happened twice the other times I force myself to read it or skip the boring parts.
To me JK Rowling isn't a great writer I tried to read another book from her (Harry Potter is partly boring too especially if she describes the ball game I skipped those pages 20, 30, 40 🤪) and could't get through the first pages.

I don't care if the author is male or female I care about the story.

Try:
Larsson
Terry Goodkind
Juliet Mariellier
Marion Bradley
Dan Brown
MJ Arlidge

Read on. 🍀♥️
