Too Like the Lightning by Ada Palmer

1.0

I hated this, and finished it only because that hatred did not fully coalesce until I was 80% of the way through.

Tiresome authorial gimmickry, vile and stupid one-dimensional characters, a plot that doesn't actually properly start until the final chapter because it wants you to buy book 2 (and 3 and 4 -- none of which I will read), and a whole bunch of juvenile sexual peccadilloes.

The worst thing I've read since London Fields.
