The Shadow Land by Elizabeth Kostova
2.0

Could not get through this, it felt very clunky. I'm amazed because Kostova's "The Historian" is one of my favorite books - I could not put it down! This one is set in Bulgaria like "Historian" but the American traveler is an absolute idiot, I got about 20% of the way through and had to quit.
I also don't like books where the narrator is in first person for one chapter and then switches to third person for another chapter. It's confusing and unnecessary.
I'm really disappointed because I was excited to read this!
