To Be Taught, If Fortunate – Did Not Finish:
I was very curious about this author, given the great following she has—but it turns out she’s not for me.
What others might call contemplative, I found simply boring. The writing is fine, and the world-building is fairly light, but the real issue is that nothing happens. The entire story feels like scaffolding for an almost uninterrupted stream of consciousness, which for me was thoroughly uninteresting.
Just when it seems like something might finally start to happen, the dreaded internal monologue kicks in again. I couldn’t get through it.
