The Ninth Rain by Jen Williams

Brit ♡’s first review of the year

did not like it
The clunky prose, embarrassing dialogue, and amateur grasp of storytelling was actively pissing me off by the 75% mark. I’m shocked by the positive chatter surrounding this book and will need to reevaluate the quality of fantasy critics I pay attention to. It’s hard to believe this isn’t the debut work of a teenage writer. Some really disappointing stuff here.

This is one of those books where I can see exactly why people would hate it and I can also see exactly why people would claim it’s a modern American classic.
