Goddess in the Machine by Lora Beth Johnson

2.0

Goddess in the Machine has such an interesting concept, it's just poorly executed. Now to be fair, I've only made it 14% into my copy, but I've literally given myself a headache while reading because of the annoying pseudo-language Johnson created. It's not that it's particularly difficult to understand, it's just annoying as hell to read, and everyone besides the MC Andra speaks it. Zhade's perspective wasn't helping things either, since that meant everything was in it, rather than just the dialogue. I never was given a reason to care about either Andra or Zhade to keep me interested enough to continue through things either, which was a bit frustrating because there should have been something by that point. Maybe it's just because I really like to have a connection with characters that it bothered me, but between those two factors I decided to just DNF.
