Note: DO NOT GIVE ME SPOILERS.
I read The Book of Atrus (dramatic audio reading on youtube!) and loved it!
Im listening to The Book of Ti'ana and I'm a quarter way through... I... Am not into it at all. Shame. drudging through for now, but the writing style of the first, with its audience serogacy, empathetic explanations of high risk scenarios and likeable characters with a common enemy, is a great formula for a story. The second book in the series lack this kind of structure and lacks identifiable tropes.
Usually the first 50 pages of Book is enough to lay enough foundation to understand rhythm, flow, characters, some backstory, and a general direction for the story to take. Instead, 25% in and the a second isolated story was started. I'm now wondering if this is a collection of tales 🤔
