A review by ladymair
Navola by Paolo Bacigalupi
Did not finish book.
I was told this book was like game of thrones and it’s far from that.
It’s far from calling it a fantasy apart from the Dragon eye that’s used as a paperweight and set in a secondary world.
The characters lack any depth and thus I wasn’t compelled to follow. The is one female character that appears(that I loved) and I thought for a moment is when the story is going to pick up
I was wrong
There isn’t any plot and from looking at other reviews they say it doesn’t pick up until the 70% mark. I am not suffering through this to that point for it to ‘get good’
I believe this book will suit people who prefer literary and historical fiction to fantasy.
What a disappointment and the marketing team needs to re-evaluate their decisions.
