Apparently I forgot to set weird AF as a goodreads shelf. My bad.
So, yeah. This was an odd book. I don't think I'm quite enough of a D&D/RP fan to really appreciate what Tchaikovsky's doing here since it did feel a lot like the novelization of a campaign. At the beginning, I found the writing style somewhat pedestrian and I honestly can't tell if I got used to it or if he deliberately increased the complexity/elegance of the writing as Nth grew in experience. Which would be very clever. I was reminded that I could, in theory, answer that question if I wanted to using the text analysis skills I have. But that would be WAY too much work.
