Im not going to lie… the pacing of this book is so jarringly slow after having just finished Leviathan Wakes. Almost comically slow. Please… for the love of god, give me some good dialogue, some action, a slight hint at romance… anything! Don’t make me read more descriptions of them taking ritual baths and stacking stones.

This book is the epitome of telling rather than showing. Now the narrator needs to step in to explain to me what should have been made clear in the first 90% of the book in order for this ending to make any sense.

Im struggling…. I can’t with this forced romance. These characters have zero chemistry and I’m STILL waiting for more interactions with Painter’s stable nightmare plot. All I’ve gotten from his world is dress shopping, showers, trips to the same ramen shop, and boribg conversations with boring characters. I get it: Yumi is learning to feel like a freaking real human. I got that like 200 pages ago!

This book is rated so freaking highly that I’m going to push through, but I’m not going to lie…. Im getting bored and a ton of this stuff could have been edited out.
