Nameless
by Lili St. Crow
I started this 20 minutes ago and I have a migraine after 22 pages. I am not the sort of reader who likes to constantly read between the lines. Having references of new worlds that are not explained drives me crazy and I refuse to continue with a book that leaves me with a "wtf," look on my face after every page.
Example:
"The only way through the Waste was sealed in a train; and the nasty creatures that lived outside the order of the city and the kolkhozes mostly at bay. The collective farms are full of jacks and Twists, but someone had to grow the food, right? And you couldn't farm the Waste without reclamation to drain off the blight and channel the wild magic into systematic forms."
This is when I stopped because the ENTIRE FIRST 22 PAGES IS LIKE THIS. Maybe I'm stupid, but when I read a book, I like to know what's going on. I like to see a clear image of what is happening in my mind and with this, I can't. So, after 22 pages, this book is in my DNF list.
