In the Vanishers' Palace by Aliette de Bodard

2.0

While this is more of a fantasy tale, it read much like a sci-fi and I always struggle with sci-fi. I can’t place what it is about the genre, but my brain just can’t GET it. I think I see the themes and the messaging in this book, but I felt exactly nothing for the characters. And without that character attachment, I’m completely lost. I loved the idea of the plot but I didn’t enjoy how it developed. It felt very surface.
