A Stranger in Olondria by Sofia Samatar

2014-06-09: I’m in chapter 5 and likely to abandon it and move on after this chapter. It’s good, but written in a very florid and verbose style. It suits the story but there have been whole pages that I’ve skimmed without feeling I missed anything as they were just telling me about the pretty city or the ocean, or whatever.
2014-06-10: I did my five chapter minimum and while I think it’s a good book it’s too wordy for me at the moment. I would probably have kept going if I weren’t on this Hugo related reading binge. I’ll probably come back to it once the binge is done.
