A review by neixin
High Times in the Low Parliament by Kelly Robson

Did not finish book. Stopped at 13%.

this hooked me instantly with an introduction of the protagonist as a lively, flirty scribe (who sucks at math!! a woman after my own dyscalculic heart), and then immediately lost me with its breakneck pace that refused to linger on literally anything. i wasn’t confused—if that had been the case, i probably would’ve been intrigued enough to keep going—but i certainly couldn’t bring myself to care about a damn thing. 

i’ve also seen multiple reviews point out that this seems to be a world with only women in it which….i’m not saying it can’t be done well, but i am saying that, as a nonbinary reader, i don’t find it particularly fun or quirky which is clearly the tone this story’s going for.
