Not in the headspace for this but I'll come back to it later
I'm not vibing with the writing style of this one.
And I feel like for a colony built up of several cultures and languages, the language structure shown thus far has been lazy, uninspired and under-developed. The author has attempted to use French in a formal context despite clearly not having a strong grasp on the French language and so it has become reduced to several cases of short pieces of French at the end of English sentences, mostly consisting of "Est-ce compris?"
The character introductions have not made me remotely care about them and I know that if I continued to read, I would only find the language/world building irksome and lacking. Although I would like to say that I did find the idea of the Architects and the peeling back of earth's crust and mantel compelling... But the world building just hadn't done it for me unfortunately.
Non, ce n'est pas compris. Je pense que je n'aime pas ce livre. Merci, allez va-t-en.

I thought that the film would get me excited enough to keep reading this book but it really didn't.
Not a bad book, but just not compelling enough to make me keep going.

I just... don't care enough to keep going.
I have no patience for grown ass adults who don't know how to use their words and communicate with eachother.
