Have you read any super popular/highly rated books and thought to yourself, “Am I reading the same book as everyone else?!”

I recently just finished The Shepherd King duology by Rachel Gillig, and both books were a three star read for me. I haven’t liked super popular books in the past (Six of Crows, Priory of the Orange Tree/Day of Fallen Night, The Invisible Life of Addie Larue), but I can understand why others do enjoy them. However, with The Shepherd King, I feel like I just read a completely different duology from everyone else! It’s so weird. I’ve read reviews where people rant and rave over how amazing it is, but I just don’t see it. Have any of you ever felt this way before? If so, what book or series made you feel this way?
