A review by peripetia
A Luminous Republic by Andrés Barba
Did not finish book.
I do not care about the story or the characters or anything. This is written in such a dry, almost academic way that it's just off-putting and boring. Probably the audiobook narrator didn't help.
The protagonist just recounts a story that could be very interesting but he's just stating facts or referencing source material. I'm giving up at ~25%. It's a short book but I just hate it.
(I also found myself thinking is it just me or is this racist, which is not a good sign. Maybe it isn't and I just disliked how the protagonist talked about the local people, including his wife.)
