I usually have you explain the complex world building and politics. I'll look at some other reviews to make my final decision. You've done a good job scaring me off, though.Gina @ My Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895568426820464572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-70689875527665401862014-09-10T14:59:23.287-04:002014-09-10T14:59:23.287-04:00I was so hoping I would love it, especially after ...I was so hoping I would love it, especially after seeing Sherwood Smith's glowing review. It does seem right up my alley. I'd be very interested in hearing what you think of it.

I think you should try it out though. You do like good world building.

I'd like to give this one a try in the future and see if I respond differently.A Canadian Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127164685941412250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-487158563126693602014-09-07T20:31:34.713-04:002014-09-07T20:31:34.713-04:00Oh, I'm with you about not really liking to re...Oh, I'm with you about not really liking to read about characters who are as socially anxious as myself (despite feeling a strong connection to them). Definitely makes me uncomfortable. Other than that, it would be hard for me to say whether I would like this one or not unless I tried it out for myself!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-48201520665021223452014-09-03T01:52:01.661-04:002014-09-03T01:52:01.661-04:00After reading lots of reviews I'm feeling hesi...After reading lots of reviews I'm feeling hesitant about this one, but I still think I'll pick it up if it ever arrives at my library. Thanks for sharing your experience; I know what you mean about not wanting to share certain uncomfortable experiences with a narrator.
