The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna by Juliet Grames

1.0

I'm not one to abandon a book if I'm more than halfway through, but I just couldn't do it. It started strong, but at a point about 2/3 of the way through, I just got annoyed. There's just no light in the story as it goes on, and while I don't need to like the main character, it's just making me less sympathetic as the story goes along. I think it's supposed to be showing the damage of thinking of women as only wives and mothers, but by focusing only on that seems to be implying that it's the only interesting thing about Stella.
