Global Read Challenge 46: Spain
I could not get into this book. There were a million loose threads that were never explored at all. Why was Lux killed? The professor? How did his ex-girl friend find him and what was her purpose? What happened to Booty? Then there's this big bombshell of maybe sex trafficking but it isn't explored or fleshed out. It was like the author had a good idea but didn't bother to do the actual work of turning it into narrative.
Also, I could not get past the author's description of fat people. There was just so much disdain for Valen and Sacra, it dripped off the page. Most people's physical descriptions were minimal but the author went to great pains to let you know how odious these people were.
