Abandoned books
Jun. 9th, 2020 08:35 pmThin Air by Richard K. Morgan
Reminded me in the first 4% why I burned out on Morgan – it's all violent murder in a sex club, police brutality, blah blah blah such gleeful seediness, yawn. Setting it on Mars doesn't make one of these Watchmanish wankfests more interesting to me right now.
Staying Dead by Laura Anne Gilman
Read more than 2/3 of this urban fantasy and cannot be bothered. Boring, clumsy. The protag spends half the book talking to herself because there is only one other character the author gives a damn about, and he's not always around to talk to. And neither of them can carry the weight of even half a book.
