Nelle’s Reviews > The Shadow of the Torturer > Status Update

Once again I am asked to read a book that seems to be steeped in richly imagined speculative world of which I can have only glimpses because my sole narrator and point of view character is a windbag dickwad that every woman inexplicably must bang. “Often I have desired you - yesterday and today.” Truly a romance for the ages.

(Moodily) “Where are the defenestrations that shall break their bones?!” My suspension of disbelief and engagement in the story has also been defenestrated 🙄

“Why, I intend to eat it. People have always complimented me on my slender figure but believe me, I eat like a direwolf” - first conversation with a named female character.
BRB picking up my eyeballs that have rolled out of my head.
