My fiance got me a Kindle recently and it came with three months of Kindle unlimited. Cool, I thought, tons of options at my disposal. Except I haven’t had any luck finding things that are actually good.
The books I’ve seen included in Kindle unlimited seem… super generic and bland. I read some samples from like half a dozen different 4+ star books in the fantasy and sci-fi genres (my personal favorites) and they all kinda sucked? I know fantasy and sci-fi are tough genres to get right and the breakdown ends up being like 40% terrible, 40% mediocre, 15% good, 5% fantastic, but still, I was disappointed.
I am assuming that the majority of books on Kindle unlimited are either public domain works or books from new or unknown authors. Is there some secret to finding good books on unlimited? Or is my assessment that it’s a dumping ground for mid-authors hoping to get enough of a following to start charging accurate?
Perhaps I’m just being impatient/lazy and not taking enough time to find the good stuff. Is there a better place to search through Kindle unlimiteds catalog? The annoying navigation and terrible organization does not inspire me to spend tons of time searching for better options.
P.S. My library card is expired and I won’t be able to get it renewed until next week, which I know is going to give me access to a much broader selection of ebooks. I’m just wondering whether to go ahead and cancel unlimited now before I forget and it starts auto charging me in three months.

I find most of the books I read on kindle unlimited. I don’t read fantasy or sci-do though. I tend to read thriller or crime books I do find some books can be a bit rubbish but I’ve read some really great books on there too.
