A Song for No Man's Land by Andy Remic

2.0

2.5 stars. This was okay. At first I thought it might end up really working for me, because I generally find stories about World War I really horribly fascinating and sad, and easy to get drawn into. And this had a speculative bent, so even better! But I just... idk, I got nothing out of this. I didn't like the characters, the mythology wasn't written in a way that made it mean anything to me, and it felt extremely disjointed. I see that there are three book in this series, and I feel like it would have been better as one long book. Because where it ended... it's not even that it was a cliff-hanger; it was just supremely unsatisfying. As always, I found it interesting to get perspectives of the Great War, especially from men on the ground, but it wasn't enough to make me really enjoy this.

Listened to the audiobook as read by Tim Gerard Reynolds; no complaints there. This just wasn't for me, sadly. I very much doubt I'll continue the series.
