A review by elderlingfool
A Stranger in Olondria by Sofia Samatar

Did not finish book. Stopped at 29%.

This seemed interesting at first, but I couldn't get attached to the main character, which is the only one with a bit of a personality, and the long descriptions and excerpts of books the main character was reading made me really really bored. 
It might work for someone that is looking for an atmospheric book centered on a main character with a love for a specific city and poems, but it didn't work for me.
