Cloud and Ashes: Three Winter's Tales by Greer Gilman

1.0

Disjointed writing that focused more on being beautiful than any coherence in its story; the language is so overwrought, it felt at times as though a thesaurus had been held over the page and wrung dry. Stir in a ridiculous number of single-word sentences, unnecessary question marks and italics used so liberally that the emphasis is diluted entirely, and I felt exhausted at the end of each chapter. I think I would have enjoyed ‘Cloud and Ashes’ more had it been a novella or a collection of poetry, instead of 400+ pages without any variation. I found myself skimming over whole pages, and only finished in order to truly say that I gave it a fair chance. Really not for me.
