Hm, this book is not really doing anything for me. And all the things I don’t like so much at this point seem to be very commonly addressed by other people. It’s pretty slow, I don’t really feel a lot for the main characters (the female characters all seem kinda bitchy, manipulative and especially boring) … One day I might give this series another try, but I say that about most books that I “paused.” 😅

This topic is simply not the part of languages I’m mostly interested in, so it felt too dry to continue. And I’m sure it’s not the author, because I read another one of his language books which was great!

I read the summary of the next two chapters and decided there's no point in continuing. It’s alright, I like the characters, but it’s also quite boring. Things happen, but nothing really drives the plot forward. So yeah, Gaiman lost me on this one. Maybe I like another one of his better (Addendum: No, I didn’t).
