I figured out why this book is so bloated. The author will often use to or more metaphors to explain the same goddamn thing. What the hell was the editor doing?

This thing is 90% rambling, just a jumble of the characters telling you how they feel and think about vague ideas. All the stuff you aren’t supposed to do in fiction.

I’m almost 30% of the way through and while I’m pushing through it, I wish the author would get on with the plot. It has its moments, but it amazes me how many words can be spent saying very little. I thought this was supposed to be about revolutionaries?
