The biggest reason I bounce off epic fantasy books is the seemingly random POVs.
Like, I was reading this one series and got to book three, where there are 12 points of view, and I'm just not interested in even half of them. So I start skimming, skimming, to get back to the people I like.

The Prime Minister must pick up the phone now to Donald Trump. We have 24 hours to stop Trump’s billion-dollar raid on British licence fee payers.
We’ve written to the PM, calling on him to demand that Trump drop his ludicrous $1 billion lawsuit against the BBC.

Nice that Thaddeus is getting more attention in Fallout S2. Johnny Pemberton's work in S1 was one of the most watchable, and quietly moving performances in the whole thing. #Fallout

This whole Streeting vs Starmer story is such a Westminster bubble inanity from a bored media class that has gotten addicted to toppling governments and abdicated any responsibility for what they're actually meant to be doing in a healthy society

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

Watching Masterchef Professionals and they just had to ask someone if their tart was a starter or a dessert. They were really happy when she said 'dessert'. If you served ME a dessert that was practically savoury my 2nd question would be if the chef wanted to meet me outside for a fight.

Happy to be of service. I once got into a taxi in Dublin wearing a cool new outfit. I was nervous about deviating from the norm but did it anyway.
The taxi driver was on the phone when I got in. First thing he did was finish his phone call saying "I have to go, this fella's wearing dungarees"

Rendering your game unplayable on it's 10th anniversary, how very Bethesda
Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition update on Steam is causing crashes, broken textures, and mod issues.
The Creations Bundle also fails to install for many, leading to a “Mostly Negative” rating at just 24% approval.
Bethesda yet to respond.

Maybe... maybe the newly released HP audio series isn't actually 'audiobook of the year', goodreads? Especially as it will win by dint of being something everyone knows.
Maybe it might be cool if people were to vote instead for Virginia Giuffre's memoir? #booksky
