I’ve tired of seeing this continue to sit here not finished and I truly have so little desire to actually push through and finish it right now so I’m gonna have to dnf. Started off so strong but was dragging by the 50% point. Moss was the only character I liked and the only thing I care enough about to maybe come back to this book later. DNF at 52%.

Granted I’m only a little bit into it so far but I do not see what everyone is up in arms about. I’ve always considered books written about movies/tv/games to be glorified fanfic, in that whatever they do or say is not strictly canon. I think adopting that attitude before starting this would have made it a much better experience for a lot of people.

The pacing of this book feels a lot like sitting in very weird traffic. It inches forwards at an agonizing pace until it suddenly takes off at 90 mph. And then you get whiplash slamming the brakes back on ten minutes later. Despite this, I am still enjoying this “whacky dnd party” group of characters immensely.

I was a little bored, this book has THE slowest start, but then… LARGE!!! FRANCIS!!!! BUILDING!!!!!

I’m enjoying this so far! HOWEVER, if one more book advertises itself as “Murderbot with [insert thing that is absolutely not even slightly Murderbot-adjacent]!” I am going to start throwing punches. This is not Murderbot. This is not trying to be Murderbot. Stop it.
