not feelin this

not showing the internal work, just jumping between steps like it's almost arbitrary

i started this because i needed something with a different sort of character than i've been reading lately, but so far it feels underdeveloped and the characters actions kind of random

how the hell does this household work financially if he's not even seen his servants in months, how do they buy food

The awful thing about it, Ariel now reflected, was that Marec had not seen the subtext at all, nor been capable of it. -- Yeah, same.

fellman's writing has got something that just really works for me, but like his other book i read, (Notes from a Regicide) there's a whole lot of wtf'ery with everything else.

not sure if this is gonna stick. the writing is a bit too descriptive for me.

yay, 💀💀
20 pages left

some quibbles with the ending if i'm honest, but fantastic

lot of wrap up left?

He felt a scrabbling alarm, a sense of the part he was trying to play today being suddenly dragged back by, clutched and tripped up by, the person he had allowed himself to be yesterday. Every day until yesterday.

still reading this. will it pull a page turning ending out of its hat, or not? we shall see

so good

idk why the hell this indigenous alt history was written by an englishman, but i am certainly enjoying it. idk if in the end i'll think it's at all comparable to chabon's yiddish policeman's union, but if i had to pick a comp title that's all i can come up with at this point.

this is a library book and I already want to buy a copy. didn't get to read much today, hopefully tomorrow goes better

to early to say much about the big picture, but at in all the little ways this is about 100x better than the jess kidd book

yeah, nope. no desire to ever pick this up again

eh, not really feeling this yet

I'm enjoying it well enough, but it's definitely not a page turner at least so far

so far, it's not what I expected. could do without the daddy issues. but ann leckie wishes her tea content was half this good.

best gay brain tumor story i remember ever reading

am i the only person left that understands you can not be tall and stocky? stocky is like a stacked short guy

hmmm. I'm thinking no.

i don't know when anything is happening in this book. it's sad though how much he was made to feel ashamed of his deafness growing up.
