@eldang@outside.ofa.dog I have a collection of Smith stories, in german, that I read all of. There was good stuff in it. Seems this is set in the same world. (Are all of his under that pseudonym?) Of course I read Nostril-ia at first. ^^

Will you propose this for #sffBookClub? I'd be in favour.

Fun, but thin

#SFFBookClub book from a few months ago. I read this quickly and enjoyed it, but it also felt very thin. The overall arc seemed sort of formulaic, and it just never got me caring enough about its world or characters for the ending to make me feel very much.

The Library of Broken Worlds was overall very dense and abstract for my taste. It reminds me a little of The West Passage in that respect, although it has a more serious and scifiy bent.

I feel like it picked up significantly around the halfway point, when the events in the flashbacks became more plot-oriented and the connections between the flashbacks and the god started to be revealed.

Overall, I enjoyed the out-thereness of the setting, but the book was not for me.
