TFW the kindle sample leads you astray and now you have to finish reading a terrible book as punishment

So far really enjoying the story, but super annoyed at how often perspective switches.

The writing is really uneven so far, and the pacing feels off somehow. The ideas are interesting, the characters shallow, and execution is meh.

I feel like there's just the faintest hope of something worth reading here. But mostly not.

Well this is just weird and creepy and confusing. I might be in love.

Eventually I'll finish this book - even if it kills me.

I hate this book so much right now. I really really hate this author's writing style. It's so heavy-handed

Some of this feels way too real so far.

It's a bit ridiculous how quickly I'm burning through this book but it's omg so good.

Obama. Clinton. Yep, I know these names. OMG PETER MANSBRIDGE <3 Oh, back to Obama, k.

cue Canadian yayness! I love reading Canadian authors.

Ildiko and Brishen are seriously the most adorable fantasy romance pairing ever. I want to marry both of them.

Throughout this book, I will be using the singular "their" in place of the gender-neutral "his" or the awkward "his or her" when the gender of the referent isn't known. I know some people think this is controversial, but this usage goes back to the fourteenth century. Better writers than I have used the singular "their" or "they," and the language has not yet fallen all to hell.

THANK YOU.

Best. Hook. Ever.

And somehow, so far, cannibalism is the most benign part of the story.

It took me a bit of time to warm up to this, and it's probably for the best that I'm reading it for book club, or I'd likely have quit by now. This is in no way meant to reflect on the quality of the book or the story, but more my interest level - I'm not usually into sci fi unless there's some sexy payoff, I guess :P

It's just so tragic, and beautiful, and hopeful. I really needed to read this right now.

So, Mira Grant. Amazing, amirightoramiright?
