I always appreciate it when someone explains why a book didn’t quite work for them, rather than simply dismissing it. I haven’t read this one yet, but your comments about stories wandering without reward and endings that fizzle out are exactly the sort of thing I find useful when deciding whether a book is for me.
It’s always interesting when a highly praised book leaves a reader cold. Sometimes that tells us as much about expectations as it does about the book itself.
I’d also be curious to hear from someone who felt differently.
