Reading progress update: I've read 12%.

Hild - Nicola Griffith

I give up.  This has rave reviews on Amazon, and I've decided the reason for that is because everyone who didn't like it quit early on and didn't write reviews.  I just can't read this.  It's not engaging at all.  The language is distracting rather than drawing me in.  I can't get a feel for the main character, and I am unbearably bored.

 

I quit.
