The Grief of Stones by Katherine Addison
Did not finish book.
1.0
Picked this book up because the description sounded so interesting. Unfortunately, I was left feeling extremely unsatisfied. This book was marked as “sci-do fantasy” in my local library; however, it felt more like a drab small town story where the characters happened to be goblins, elves, etc. The character names are insufferable and unnecessarily long and complex. Same for the old-timey and proper language the author uses. It feels forced; like a teenager using British slang in her first Wattpad story.
I tried so badly to give this book a chance, but had to DNF after several more painstaking chapters. Needless to say, I’m happy I got this from the library and didn’t waste my own money.
If you are looking for a better story about a main character contacting deceased murder victims, I would suggest reading “The London Seance Society” instead.
