Reading reviews for this book and its sequels, and I'm relieved to find I'm not the only who struggled to connect with Georgia.

This problem has a slight problem that I've recognized in other fiction: there are swathes of it that feel like an extended summary. Time is passing, but it feels like we're not actually experiencing that, merely jumping from one point to another.

I respect the density of this text. I really love that I have to slow down and read it to keep things in my head. That's not something I usually have to do; I'm a quick reader and my analytical thinking is fairly decent, so understanding comes quickly for me. This book definitely requires me to slow down. Much respect.

I can say with absolute honesty that I admire the world-building in this book, oh my god, Georgia like an encyclopaedia and not a terribly interesting one.

" I spend my time writing, thinking about writing, and trying to come up with new things I can write about." GPOY much?

Anyway, sorry for the lag in reading updates. This book really hasn't grabbed me, but I'm trying to keep going.
