Middlegame

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

DNF @ 8%

Seanan McGuire is hit or miss with me. I love the InCryptid series as well as Feed, and am on the fence with the October Daye series. So, going into this one, I wasn't sure what I was going to feel about it. By the time I got around to reading it, I had heard so many good things, so I was pumped!

The thing is, and the reason I won't rate this one, it just isn't my style. This is 100% a case of it's me not the book, because I know of people who would probably dig this. The hardest part is I can't firmly put a finger on what it is that wasn't working for me. Part of it was that I was confused about what was going on and I feared that there would be some time traveling going on. It was picking up when I finally put it down, but by then I was already skimming it.

I think I might try this one again at a later date, when I'm in the mood for this type of science-y fantasy. It really does have a lot going for it and feels very unique.
