"It's rare that I dislike a book this strongly so early, but I'm getting a bit "bitch eating crackers" about the writing style. I can't help but compare the setting to Tanith Lee's scifi, but this writing voice is so dead by comparison. Everything is maddeningly "tell" not "show," the characters are so passive I was actively squicked by the last chapter, and the gross-out depictions of poverty just kind of make me mad" — Aug 23, 2025 07:52PM
