This Thing Of Darkness

This Thing Of Darkness

DNF at 70%, but I started skimming at like 40%

I don't have any problems with this book, I think it could work well for a lot of people. Early Jamestown colony dealing with a monster and early contact with the indigenous peoples, plus the MCs dealing with bigotry from the colony. It's a good set up.

But I just could not force myself to care about anything going on, or wanting to continue at all. The writing style is very minimal and I kept being confused about where we were in space and time (because there are intermittent flashbacks) not necessarily because the book itself was unclear, but because the way it was written made it easy to miss these details.
