For me it would be Wings of Fire. When we finally got LGB representation Sutherland lost her ability to write. >!Sundo and Willow’s relationship is super unrealistic. It’s too easy, no relationship is that easy especially homosexual ones. I’m no lesbian, but even I know that love don’t come easy. fantasy doesn’t need to be realistic in anything but relationships. Stories pull you in by connecting you to the characters, if you can’t connect to the characters the rest of the story falls apart.!<(Spoilers for Lost Continent)
This is just my opinion, and you can feel free to disagree.

I don’t know about hating it, but Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series ran out for me after the 5th book.
Jack Reacher series started off fantastic, but after the 7th or 8th, blah.
The Farseer trilogy. The second half of book 3 was rage inducing.
Both The Stand (unpopular opinion) and Fairytale by King.
Divergent series.
I honestly didnt enjoy Dune after God emperor. The Honored maitres seemed kinda sexist and there wasnt a reason to care about anything
*Gentlemen Bastards*. Loved book one, okay with book two, didn’t finish book three.
The Wheel of Time really burned me out. I loved The Eye of the World and it is still one of my comfort reads. But by the end of the series I had really lost interest and was pushing myself to finish. It’s a shame because by all accounts, the last few books are really pretty good. I wouldn’t necessarily disagree, but after slogging through books 8-11 I was in no place to appreciate them.
Kingkiller chronicle
I really disliked how the Hunger Games trilogy ended after enjoying the first two books.
The Goldfinch. Also, The Goldfinch. How much The Goldfinch sucked after the first half makes me irrationally angry.
Animorphs.
Odd thomas series from Dean Koontz brother odd was ok to say best
Ragtime. Magic till the halfway point, then it ebbed away slowly but surely.
Brian stevevlys The Emperors blades. Very good to start falls apart when the highly highly trained super soilder elite assasins make bad decision after bad decision just so that the plot can move forward.
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series started strong and ended horribly
Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter… it was always trash, but it had a fun world and fun characters… as the series went on the protagonist got more and more power creep and weirdly porographic sex scenes as the author added in fictionalised versions of her new romantic partners.
The Night Circus. I immediately fell in love with the prose but the plot let me down in the end.
