A review by sandygx260
Empress of Forever by Max Gladstone
Did not finish book.
When I keep poking at a book for two months, I know any chance of finishing it is doomed. Every other book seemed more interesting.
I adored Gladstone's Craft series until the last novel, which shocked me at how... sloppy it seemed. Characters acted randomly and I felt absolutely no connection to the story.
This book felt the same way. I tried, I really tried, but I abandoned it at page 125.
I'm starting to feel that of late Gladstone is more about world-building and flashy details than character development. I used to love his Craft characters.
I am so disappointed and sad.
