The Death of the Necromancer by Martha Wells

1.0

DNF at 28%. I tried, but found reading it a chore. The pace is ponderous at best: the text is bogged down by flowery descriptions and the use of low-frequency words. Normally extended word use is a plus for me, but here it felt a little pretentious. Then again, perhaps it's just because steam punk is apparently not my jam, if that's what this is. The lack of pace meant I wasn't driven onward, and I found I didn't care about the characters.

I'm sure others will enjoy this more, but it was not the book for me.
