Daniel’s Reviews > A Thief and a Gentleman > Status Update

this still sucks. but still reading (or skimming) cuz it works to fill idle moments the other book is too good for. earlier when i first started thinking i'd dnf this, i still wanted to know what would happen. i'm now doubting anything of note is going to happen at all.

how is it possible to make a gay thief this boring? like, I kinda still wanna know what happens, but omg, so dull. i'm just killing time at this point until I have a good block of time to start something else. and the "magic" seems so superfluous in this, is it just an excuse not to bother with research or historical accuracy in a real world historic setting?

still probably going to dnf this, but too tired to pick something new after the baseball book, so read a bit more of it. the pacing is sooooo bad. hard to believe this came after the other books i read by powell.

how can I find out what happens without having to read the rest of this...

it does not feel like the author has a plan or any idea where this is going. it's just meandering along

slow. odd. idk what to think so far, but I will keep going
