The Mirror Empire by Kameron Hurley
I decided to dive into this book because I have never read her work before.
I am on chapter 5 and I have to say, If this story doesn't get out of first gear soon I am going to put it back on the shelf.
The Silmarillion, was a breeze to read compared to the amount of characters being referenced to in Mirror Empire.
I feel like I did as a kid, listening to my mother or grandmother talk about how so-and-so, is related to so-and-so, and they had a kid who was married to so-and-so, and they lived next to so-and-so, who was a cousin to the nephew of so-and-so,....on and on and on
The level of world building is incredible but overwhelming.
My eyes are glazing.
Does it get better, should I go on?
