This novel is told and explained, instead of putting audiences inside it. I think it is partly to do with dialogue being scarce, which would play scenes instead of having the protagonist narrate all of them. The writing rule I learned as a child, in person from local star, Martha Brooks, yells out here: "Show, don't tell". But setting up a new series takes explaining and I am certainly giving this novel a chance.
