I read it as part of a book club and there were about 25 people there and less than 5 actually enjoyed it.

Obviously I disagree.

----------------------------

The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie is $2.99. First book in the grimdark First Law trilogy.

Amazon US: https://www.amazon.com/Blade-Itself-.../dp/B00TOT9LDK
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-blade-itself-4

Double Star by Robert A. Heinlein is $2.99. (I'll save JSWolf the trouble and warn you that this is from his favorite publisher Phoenix Pick! )*

Amazon US: https://www.amazon.com/Double-Star-R.../dp/B016TSE6OW
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/double-star-5

*(In case you missed it, JSWolf said earlier that Phoenix Pick books tend to have lots of typos.)

I didn't say lots ot typos. I said lots of poor coding making some of the eBooks not work well. So when you change options, they don't always works. Some have rather poor formatting.

The coding can look like the source was a Mobipocket reject.

Ah, that's right. Thanks for clarifying. I misremembered and didn't go back to check.

I have heard people say that The Player of Games is a more accessible entry point, but I got into them just fine in published order.

Double Star has some problematic aspects, mainly (IMO) due to the times in which it was written. That said, it's still one of my favorites.
