A review by benehime
Im Schatten des Himmels by Guy Gavriel Kay

Did not finish book.

2.0

I'm halfway through and thinking of quitting. It's slow, very boring. The only remotely interesting character is Shen Tais sister and Meshag (I wouldn't mind if the book were about him).
If slow (very slow, like, a snail is faster) buildups and macho characters who hide their machoness behind confusing words, which are supposed to make them look smart, are your thing, then by all means. Go ahead.
Also: poetry. A lot of it. I very much identified with a prostitute, who also didn't care for it.
