A review by zealous
A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik

Did not finish book. Stopped at 22%.

Incoherent narrative that focuses heavily on what it considers to be world-building, but really is just exposition dump after exposition dump with minimal flavour or intrigue, from the point of view of a protagonist who has little to offer besides being an edgelord, for lack of a better word. There's so much potential but its execution is too frustrating to let me finish it.
