lizshayne 's review for:
City of the Uncommon Thief
by Lynne Bertrand
challenging
dark
mysterious
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Me: Whether I like a book is about style, how it handles the characters, the larger experience; anything can be done well.
Also me: I don't like books where people live in tall towers and the ground is different.
I...apparently it's a thing of mine. Anyway, it took me a while to get into this book, what with the setting being extremely gonzo and also a thing I don't like.
It got better when it got weirder...not that it didn't start out weird.
Also, Odd Thebes as narrator would NOT have been my first choice. I get it and also I resented him for a significant amount of the book because, well he's that kind of person. Honestly, given how many things in this book are tropes I don't like, it has to have been pretty good to get a 3.
