Eifelheim by Michael Flynn

1.0

DNF at 5 and of 17 hrs of the audiobook. The premise sounded awesome. Historical fiction, pandemic, and aliens are all subjects that I enjoy reading about, but this book was straight up boring. While I know people in the 1300s were devotely religious and spoke in many metaphors, trying to trek through Dietrich's talking was boring. You would think when aliens arrived it would get more exciting, but then they just talk to them in the same metaphors and devotedness. And the "Now" sections were so small that they were essentially pointless. Disappointing.
