Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

The pacing and writing style were difficult for me but it's an important, clever story. A slow starter with a good, portal fantasy hook and great payoff in the last third.

The Left Hand of Darkness

Ursula K. Le Guin

DID NOT FINISH: 25%

Just not the right time for me to read this one. Will definitely try again later.

Reader, I Murdered Him

Betsy Cornwell

DID NOT FINISH: 37%

Stylistically clever, and if the murdering had happened in the first third of the book I probably would've kept reading, but after 10 chapters I couldn't handle the foreboding any longer.
