Like books that got very popular but you never really could get into.

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

Everyone seemed to hype it up as the best sci fi ever so it might just have been the hype that did it.

I thought it was a decent book but nothing really special. It just wasn't all that interesting to me. It didn't make me want to read the sequels.

Same. I don’t really know why, but the writing style did not do it for me. I couldn’t get invested in the story nor any of the characters.
