A review by imyril
Tower of Mud and Straw by Yaroslav Barsukov

Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.

This just hasn’t hooked me - I’m not interested in the protagonist or his circumstances, and I find a lot of the dialogue awkward. The Mimic Tower legend is interesting and I like the engineer, but it’s not enough to stop this feeling like a slog (and don’t get me started on the dead sister or the instalove mystery woman who happens to share her name)
