A review by rmakenzie
The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson

2.75

This book was tedious and difficult to get through. I did see the ending coming, so I can’t say I was terribly surprised by it. Lots of telling, but not a ton of showing. It kind of felt like reading a history book? I do love the idea of the book, though. I just wish I gelled with the writing more. There were multiple times that I almost DNF’d this book. A fine book overall! I wish I had the intense connection to this book that other readers seemed to have. 

Tain Hu was the best part of this book to me.
