Last Exit

DNF at about 14%.

I really wanted to like this book. But the suicide ideation in the first chapter itself put me off immediately. It's too much of a trigger for me to feel comfortable. I still continued reading but couldn't get into the story anymore. But I have to say that whatever I did read, I found the writing to be very beautiful and I'm sure others who love urban fantasy can appreciate this one better than me.

I'm devastated because I wanted to love this book, but I don't. I read thirteen chapters, got so frustrated that I read the last three chapters in an attempt to hook me, and eventually gave up.

I love the idea of multiple alt worlds, but parallel to this structure, I felt the characters were too one-dimensional. They're all (except June) introduced with a sex scene to, I dunno, give them depth? And they're wallowing in so much self-pity I wanted to punch them. All of them.

I'm sad and I'm sorry.
