A review by jaymeks
The House of Shattered Wings by Aliette de Bodard

2.0

I received this book from First to Read, and I was very excited about the chance to read it. Looking at all of the hype surrounding the book, including several authors whom I really respect, I thought this was going to be the next big book that I loved. Man, was I mistaken. I read and read, and realized I had only gotten through about 100 pages. For the amount I read, I felt like so much more should have happened.

I think my issue was the book read much, much slower than what I prefer. The book was well written, the characters were fascinating, I just started to lose interest because of the pacing. It is slow.

Because I only read around 100 pages, I can't rate it better than 2 stars even though it probably deserves more. I might try to finish it, but not right away.
