Elder Race by Adrian Tchaikovsky
DID NOT FINISH: 45%

Well ... I  got almost halfway through this book (not exactly sure what chapter, because there weren't numerical chapters, just alternating POVs) and ... I really couldn't say what it was about. At all. Not sure if the timing just wasn't right or what, but I'm going to call it. DNF. 

Honestly, I hadn't heard about this anywhere, but a copy appeared in my Little Free Library. I then noticed my mother had read something recently by this author. It is short, and as I like to switch up my audio (from female to male narrator, genres, etc) this seemed to fit the bill. Alas ...

There was some proFanity (7 total, but 5 in one chapter, it grated). I also noted the words bespoke and arcane. 

There is a possibility I give this another try sometime in the future ... I'd just start over, as stated above, I had NO idea what was going on!
