Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett
Did not finish book. Stopped at 8%.
The first two chapters really hooked me... and then the next two chapters immediately released me back into the sea. 💀
I just can't do the magical cheesiness of talking objects. Especially if they're this silly. It's making this adult book feel almost middle grade.
I also had heard this book comped to Six of Crows, and it was definitely heavily evoking SoC for me, but without the fun crew and their relational dynamics. Just the one very solitary MC. Which I'm sure will change eventually, but yeah... nah.
