“I’ve heard of it,” I
Heard of it from where? He’s from earth. Frustrating that we’re more than halfway through the book and the author still hasn’t illuminated us with the protagonists background. How long has he even been there? How is he so knowledgeable about things on this planet?
Although a generally enjoyable read, not having the author expand upon the world has really simplified the story. Feels somewhat flat and lifeless. Early on in the story I assumed the author would flush it out eventually, but now it feels like this is pretty much it as far as complexity of story goes.
