The Last Hour of Gann by R. Lee Smith
Did not finish book. Stopped at 62%.
What the fuck is wrong with people? I don't know how many times I've seen this recommended, just rave reviews, and honest to god, I'm never been more puzzled. For starters, this book is LONG. I DNF'ed at 62%, that's over ten (10!) hours of reading. There is zero romance, much less chemistry between the main characters.
I'm convinced this was either written by a man or by a woman who hates women. Meoraq is a nuanced, complicated hero while Amber is a caricature. Her thoughts and reactions are so unbelievable, and the only reason Meoraq is attracted to her is because Amber "isn't like other girls".
My only saving grace is that I stopped reading before it go too dark or rapey. The world building and clash of cultures had a lot of potential, but I just couldn't do it.
I'm off to reread one of my favorite Alice Coldbreath book's as a nice chaser. Peace.
