Bronze Gods (An Apparatus Infernum Novel) por A. A. Aguirre
The first in a series (I think) that I wish did a little more world building, because I think it is a fascinating idea. Or perhaps it just needs clearer world building, because I found myself a little muddled as I got through the book. The two main characters were fun (if a little obvious) and the story moved along quickly.

I love really excellent characters, and while these two had some promise, I felt like I was reading the same descriptions of their relationship/ interactions over and over again. Also, I get migraines, so a character who suffers from them constantly is just too much of a blargh reminder.

jennybeast | 14 reseñas más. | Apr 14, 2022 | Upon finishing, I actually said out loud, "Thank goodness that's over."
I was really disappointed in this. On paper - and cover - it looked so interesting. Steampunk fairyland featuring a woman-of-colour police detective! (And, look, she was great. I really wish the book had been about her, instead of shunting off-stage all her development that wasn't lavish agonising over her partner's sixpack.)
The pacing of the book was a strange combo of lingering and lurching that seemed to rush interesting developments and spend pages on boring details. It proceeded through a murder investigation that was probably quite realistic in its laboured chipping away at leads, but that gave no scope for deep mental engagement. Add in a major subplot, wherein a new point-of-view character had a romance almost vampiric in its fey formality, and about which I couldn't care less, and this book was a genuine chore to read.
I was mildly engaged with ours heroes UST, but that was flogged to death by endless self-aware asides and introspections. (The aforementioned agonising over sixpacks, and lots of "but we mustn't"-style denials. Yawn.)… (más)

cupiscent | 14 reseñas más. | Aug 3, 2019 | It's been weeks and it's time to admit it, I'm not going to finish this book. I absolutely hate to say this--and can't believe I'm saying this because it's co-written by Ann Aguirre whose books I adore--but this book is boring. There's very little suspense, which for a book about two people investigating a series of murders and one person very obviously targeted for murder, is not a good thing.
Everything about this book gave me a feeling of "almost, but not quite." I almost feel like I know the main characters because I've been told things about them, but at 74% into the book I still don't feel like I know them. I almost feel like I understand how this particular world differs from ours because I've been told certain things that happened, but I don't see those things playing out. It's that way with most things; very tell instead of show.… (más)
