A review by geldauran
The Killing Moon by N.K. Jemisin
1.0
A one star rating feels unfair, because this book had some of the most lush and original world building I've encountered-- but the characters left me cold. In theory the characters should have been amazing, but their emotions and interactions felt forced, I found myself utterly uninterested in them, and all my focus was purely pushed to the plot. Too bad that I couldn't enjoy this book more.
I will also add that I have loved some of the author's other books, so I put this particular struggle down to personal preference. The way the story was told just wasn't for me, there was just a certain [something] that was off, something that bled into the characters and made me struggle to finish this one. I still have every intention of reading all the other books N.K. Jemisin has to offer, but I'm also happy to say goodbye to this one.
