To Cage a God by Elizabeth May
Did not finish book.
1.0
I cannot tell you how disappointed I am about this one. I'm just so bored and apathetic to everything happening that I've had to DNF at 35%.
I was so excited for this as well! I've read and loved books from this author before. Her Flaconer series is A++. So colour me shocked when this was just doing nothing for me at all.
We seem to have joined the story after some of the most interesting-sounding events so we're just being "told" about all of those whereas in the present barely anything is happening and what is happening I don't care about because I don't know the characters yet.
There's a past love interest on the scene. Second-chance romance is my least favourite so even if this eventually gets going I doubt I'd be invested.
This book somehow feels rushed and slow at the same time. Rushed because of the worldbuilding we're being told, and slow because in the present nothing is happening.
I did initially soft DNF at 25%, went and read another book, then pushed through another 10% and I just think I should care by now if I'm ever going to and I don't.
