Blood Engines by Tim Pratt, T.A. Pratt

1.0

I'm a very forgiving reader. If you're telling me a good story with interesting characters, I can (and usually do) ignore writing that's not up to par. With "Blood engines," however, the heavy-handed exposition was too much to ignore, and the main characters were either colorless or unlikable. I was attracted by the location (San Francisco) and the premise, but as a wise person once said, "A premise is not a story."
I made it through the first four chapters and bailed. No bueno.
