Too Like the Lightning - Ada Palmer

Out of curiosity I searched my ebook edition for occurrences of "reader" = 227 times.

 

That doesn't sound like a book only addressing reader directly during a foreword or introduction.

 

It's  reminding me of the campus bits of Wicked and lots of other counter culture student protest type of books in the atmosphere of it.  Not the plot (or at least not yet the plot) and it's not on campus or with students; just the feel of the thing and something about the writing style.  I loathed Wicked which did at least have some promising bits and made for a great Broadway show.

 

Taking a break from this one.  Within next half hour, the Bookshelf BINGO game I'm playing should have a new shelf call and I'll start that book.  Then try a bit more of this one, read some of the reviews and then judge if go on a bit more or DNF..
