What I'm reading

[readerjane]

I've started The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie. So far it's not grabbing me. I was intrigued by what seemed to be second-person POV at first. It wasn't second person, but an odd first-person narrative in which a regional god seems to be recounting another character's story to that character. Which could also be intriguing. (Has the other character lost his memory? Why does the god need to tell the other character the story of his life?) But there are long discursions into the god's own history that remind me of James Michener: a few pages of narrative, then we talk about how the tectonic plates in this region formed, then a few more pages of story, then back to the geological aeons. It's a lot to plow through.

Have been re-reading some favorite fic. I'll give TRT another try before deciding whether to finish.
