Sadly DNF -64% I’ve reached my limit.
Ordinarily I love translated fiction, especially quiet and introspective works where not a lot necessarily happens. Unfortunately for me this is just too disjointed, I don’t know if it’s the constantly swapping POVs or if something has been lost in translation. I’m finding myself confused more often than not and a little bit bored; the female POV was definitely stronger than the male, but not strong enough for me to continue soldering on.
I’m disappointed because I had expected to love this based on the description. I might return to it at some point, but right now it’s putting me in a reading slump trying to force through it.
Thank you NetGalley and Headline for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
