Lord of Light
★★★★★Read Feb 10, 2022
Nope. Read the lengthy first chapter, no memory of what I read. Struggling to remember characters and actions from one paragraph to the next. That's almost certainly a statement about me and not the book, sometimes a writer's style just doesn't work for me. I quit this one.
Apologies to my friend who recommended the book. I liked the idea of the recommendation! Maybe I'll try again in a few months in a different mode.
