This month's bonus book is super long and it seems the reason for that is because the author spends like a paragraph doing world-building or unnecessarily over-explaining reactions between each line of dialogue -_-

#i'm only 3% through so far so it may improve once we've done enough of the world-building #but if not then it's only a matter of time before i dnf it because it's already grating on me #it's like. i don't care about this side character's relationship with her parents please just get on with the story #also the author's ripped off norse mythology but not in like. a good or clever way.#she's literally just changed the name of things very slightly or used the names of things for entirely different concepts #and the main character is apparently from a 'small village called nidaros'#nidaros is the old name for trondheim y'all. she's from fucking trondheim. which isn't a small village and wasn't when it was nidaros eithe #but i'm pretty sure the city itself is supposed to be entirely fictional #it's certainly not set in medieval norway bc they have cell phones and stuff #anyway we'll see how long it keeps up and how much it tries my patience #but if it doesn't improve soon it's going in the bin (metaphorically speaking given it's an ebook)#bc it's a hefty-ass book and i'm not investing near on 20 hours into something i don't enjoy
