I started and stopped and restarted and stopped The Ephemera Collector by Stacy Nathaniel Jackson repeatedly before DNFing. I really wanted to like this one, but there was far too much dry info dumping and not enough focus on character. There were elements I was very interested in, like a middle aged Black woman as the protagonist of a futuristic fantasy novel. But I don't feel that the delivery was as engaging enough to keep spending time on. 

Thank you to NetGalley for the audio ARC in exchange for an honest review.
