A review by paladinjane
The House of Binding Thorns by Aliette de Bodard

3.0

Just like with the first book, I have mixed feelings about this one. On the one hand, this is a fascinating, unique world with cutthroat politics and diverse people groups, and that's fun to read. On the other hand, I still can't bring myself to care about the characters, which seriously dampens the thrill factor. I wanted to like this much more than I actually did.
