Yendi by Steven Brust

Yendi (Vlad Taltos, #2)Yendi by Steven Brust

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Yeah, yeah, you guys told me not to read this book next, but it's what fell into my lap. Though maybe if I had taken the advice I wouldn't be questioning all y'all's judgment and taste so hard right now. Because this was not good. Clumsy, boring, convoluted in weird and uninteresting ways. And the worldbuilding is kind of like those madlib games, except with made up words. Like, the book would be all, "I sipped the Giiizloewf whine. It was red, a shade darker than a Flowieviad, but lighter than a Streizoerjb." And I'd be like, "what the fuck ever, Steven Brust. Page me when you're done transcribing out of your high school notebooks."
