A review by wyvernfriend
The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. by Nicole Galland, Neal Stephenson

3.0

slogged through this Honestly by the end I didn't care.  This has taken me ages to finish and if it wasn't for a flu and determination I'd have a sneaking suspicion this would never have been finished.
 
I've seen a lot of reviews where people either love it or dislike it, very little middle ground on this one (so if you're reading it and you're meh about it, just move on)
 
Basic plot is a medieval linguist recruited into a secret government organisation who work with witches to do time travel and when they annoy the wrong person it all goes very pear shaped.
 
It's clever but I just didn't feel a lot of joy in reading it, more I wanted it to be done.
