I had multiple people tell me how good it was. Couldn't manage even the first book. Didn't care about any of the characters. If they had all died, and the book started following a completely different group it wouldn't have changed how engaged I was in the story at all.
Surely it would have then gotten better, or at least interesting, right? (For a moment anyway?)
It would have probably at least made me curious. Not many books will kill off their whole cast and just start telling a different story.
Which ones will?
Game of Thrones
There was no doubt in my mind that this would be a pretty prompt response.
I dunno. I just figure it has probably been done at some point. Probably not a good book though.
