novelheartbeat 's review for:

Blackfish City by Sam J. Miller
DID NOT FINISH

I could tell within the first 20 pages that this was NOT a 'me' book. I am a ball of sadness because I was really excited over the whole "orcamancer" bit. Sigh.

Issues I had within a mere dozen pages:
1. Massive infodumps that made it hard to follow and also I re-read the same paragraph about 93845 times because my brain kept checking out
2. There were THREE switching POVs (maybe more, didn't get that far) and that's just too many for me. They didn't feel different and I don't feel like being lost in POVs the whole book
3. It felt annoyingly political and that is just NOT my cup of tea thanks
4. It was boring AF to the point of making me narcoleptic. Pass
