arlang 's review for:

Perhaps the Stars by Ada Palmer
DID NOT FINISH: 25%

This series became too tedious for me to continue with. I have a vague interest in seeing where the story ends up but none of the characters are particularly compelling, the globe-spanning nature of the previous books is frustratingly confined to a single island and the narrator of the previous three books is largely replaced by someone who cries almost continuously. Nothing much happened in what I read.

 Maybe it gets better but I spent most of the third book telling myself that too. I was interested to see what a world rediscovering war looked like and that is almost entirely absent as well.
