bailedThere‘s a lot to recommend this one, including immersive worldbuilding and multiple magic systems, but the prose style just isn‘t for me. It‘s fussy and often purple; a good fit for the propriety-obsessed narrator, but not something I can enjoy. The deeper I got, the more it reminded me of Gene Wolfe (albeit with less obscure vocabulary choices). I decided to bow out at 46%.
Major TW for pregnancy-related horrors, too.
I can‘t decide if I like BROOD OF BONES. I‘m interested in the worldbuilding, but the writing hits my mental ear the wrong way. It‘s a perfect fit for this narrator, which makes me more forgiving of the purple bits, but I‘m 80% sure I dislike the narrator so a prose style that fits her isn‘t necessarily a positive. I dunno. Several LibraryThing reviewers mention it gets really good past a certain point, so I‘ll try to hit that at least.
I‘m gonna post a book (or series) from my TBR every day until I‘ve shared the lot. No descriptions. No explanations. Just a whole bunch of books I haven‘t read yet.
This is Day 39.
