Elder Race by Adrian Tchaikovsky
2.5
adventurous mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

i dont do well with a mixture of fantasy and sci-fi. 
for me it has to clearly side towards one of those genre to work for me because the mix just… i guess is too much for me to imagine? 

so i would have enjoyed this a lot more if the sci-fi elements were not there and instead it was just this adventure kind of quest story. 

it wasn’t a bad story as it is, and i can see why people love it and really enjoy it.

but it’s just not what i look for in my stories.
