And there were bits of it that were fantastic. However I read Enders Game and wanted to try out scifi, I have such awe for space, and this was by an author that I thought had pretty decent writing chops as a kid himself, who had grown up as well, so this seemed fucking perfect. And now I'm supposed to read who knows how many more hundreds of pages to even get back to the issues that didn't get resolved. Like I just read 880 (yeah, I'm that person who read ALL the fucking appendices) pages and my ending was a little ambiguous and didn't even touch some things that needed like a sentence of wrap up. Then I find out that it's the first book in a non-linear series in this universe and I honestly am a little angry. The ending was a little muddier than I would have hoped. The ending was not entirely what I expected and I really liked that part of it, however the unexpectedness of it was what held it up. It just seems like it would make me more frustrated instead of giving additional answers. I typically reread books once or twice to pick up on things I glossed over or didn't peg as important the first time and I have zero desire to do so with this (I read the entire Inheritance cycle 4 times.). It was absolutely too long, and I am a huge fan of world building and enjoys the long game of details. I told my spouse how I constantly felt that the book was clearly not supposed to be a novel but a series, there was too much info crammed into it in a way that seemed like the editing kinda failed. Most of the book I was annoyed at how much of my time was wasted breaking down stuff that had very little importance. It took me about 5 days to finish and I really am unsure how to feel about it. As a teen I had read the Inheritance Cycle (seems to be the most common reason anyone picked up this behemoth) and then as an adult my spouse and I read it together (we take turns reading aloud to one another), so when he was looking to buy me a gift this seemed like a pretty obvious choice. I just finished reading this book by Christopher Paolini. Example: Hello.Įxplanation of our link flairs Join our /r/bookclub Don't forget /new!
