A review by lilacashes
The House of Shattered Wings by Aliette de Bodard
I'm sorry I cannot really warm up to this book.
The premise and the world are interesting enough. Sadly I cannot say much about the good parts of the book without spoilers.
On the other hand, the characters appear clichéd and interchangeable. Apart from the two protagonists I cannot really tell them apart. Their reactions appear wooden and scripted, and even the most cynical characters act with an unrealistic naivety. The book never came to life when I read it.
Still I will come back to Aliette de Boudard to read what else she has up her sleeves.
