Fortune's Pawn

DNF - PG 61

Why?

It kills me to do this, you know, but it's gotta be done and said. You see, I love Rachel Bach's fantasy series she writes under the name Rachel Aaron, so I thought there was a good chance I'd at least like this book.

I didn't.

Reason #1
Devi Morris is a narrow-minded, bigoted bitch. I might like some people that are bitches, but not the kind that can't seem to see past their own nose. Perhaps she get's better - I just know that when I wanted to slap her for her narrow-minded ways twice in ten pages, I was done.

Reason #2
I don't like the writing style to urban fantasy books. I've never known if that or the stories themselves were the reason that genre wasn't for me. After reading this book - proclaimed as being sci-fi written like UF (to make it more accessible or some such) - I believe I've had the question answered. I don't like that writing style in UF and I don't like it any more in sci-fi. (Now, if you are a UF fan and want to get into sci-fi, this might be the book for you.)
