I read this book yesterday and didn't finish anything over the weekend. D: I think I may be somewhat resentful of the novels I've got on hand for not being the last book in the Demon trilogy, which still hasn't come in. On Saturday, I started an sf novel that completely failed to grab my attention. I am not going to name it because (a) I don't want to review books I didn't finish and (b) I don't even think there's anything wrong with it; it's just not engaging me. I may give it another chance later, or I may return it unread. I picked a fantasy novel to read today; this one is a doorstopper, so it may take me until tomorrow to finish it even at my recent pace.
