I'm terribly sorry that I couldn't get into this book, I heard it's one of the best and greatest in fantasy. But whenever I tried to read a page, my mind went to a million places that were not the book. Not my writing style if that happens, I'm afraid.
I was simply unable to penetrate dense, this meandering narrative that purposely jumps between 1st, 2nd and 3rd perspective. I'm sure it's nice if you're up for a challenge, but I'm too old to be annoyed by books. I want to read for fun and to relax, not to be confused.
It just didn't grab my attention. Too many uninteresting characters that never seem to come together.
After two chapters, I realized this is too spooky for me.
Honestly thought a lot of this book was pretty boring, but maybe that's just because I read it to fall asleep.
The Horse, the Wheel, and Language: How Bronze-Age Riders from the Eurasian Steppes Shaped the Modern World
DID NOT FINISH
I stopped reading this book at 30% because it was super boring to read about archaeological stuff in minute detail. Might be interesting for archaeologists, but not for me.
I stopped reading this book at like 60% because it got way too depressing.
This book was so boring that I stopped about about 3 chapters
I just couldn't really get into this book, which probably explains why I needed almost a year to finish it. It's got a very interesting premise and a very interesting universe, but I found the plot rather lacking. It just all seemed a bit too random for me and it took the entire book to recognize a connection.
