Brighter than Scale, Swifter than Flame by Neon Yang
Did not finish book. Stopped at 65%.
I hate that I'm dnfing this novella because I really wanted to like it. It's sapphic, fantasy and it's not huge. I loved this concept. But GOD ITS SO BORING????? Don't get me wrong, i love the writing, it's very beautiful and atmospheric but there's only so much description I can till I fall asleep (and I did... FIVE TIMES). I really really tried finish this but it's so draggy and there's hardly any dialogue exchange or any action. It's not even cozy fantasy?? For every five pages of description there's maybe two dialogue exchange. And I'm not some dialogue fanatic and it's not a case of "oh if there's no dialogue, I can't concentrate." But I just kept reading it and kept thinking, why am I even reading this???.
This whole thing turned into a rant. Hate that I'm dnfing it just when things are about to get revealed but really I just don't care anymore.
