I know it's a love-it-or-hate-it type of book, but Name of the Wind. Beautiful prose. But just the most uninteresting lead characters and antagonists.

It also has quite some misogyny if you think that he is friend with the girl he “loves” just because he wants her to fall in love with him but, somehow, it’s not the right time yet. But if he keeps being there for her, she is going to fall for him! So sleazy.
