The Left-Handed Booksellers of London by Garth Nix

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 35%.

Maybe it's the audiobook style, but finally decided I don't like the main character enough (or any of the other characters actually) to carry on listening to this. It's probably a 3 star book, but not enjoying it enough to carry on.

The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin

Did not finish book. Stopped at 26%.

Slow, confusing. For me this was a huge disappointment and though I struggled on for a while it never grabbed my attention.
