@Meg, help. This is so interesting but also so far, so dry. Can we buddy read discuss to motivate me?

so far, superficial (borderline shitty) handling of the sentient house trope

The action and the voice of the MC move the story along quickly - first sixty pages flew.

Unfortunately, the content is excruciatingly dull.

The talent - or the unique sort of absence of talent - required to write a book that both races and drags at the same time is astounding.

Ugh. I am 1/3 of the way through and just realized what is going to happen, how it will resolve. I hope I'm wrong, and this doesn't have such a cheap twist.

already taxing my patience. Hope it builds to something worthwhile.

Yeah, okay. I read this years ago and was going to reread it now. Library copy, impossible to renew because of high demand. Finding it tedious this time through - it's not him, it's me. Probably going to give up soon for something fluffier.

I can't remember the last time I read a book so fast. I wish I'd had enough PTO to take a day off to read today.
