A review by booksandladders
The Mountain of Kept Memory by Rachel Neumeier
Did not finish book.
Disclaimer I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
DNF @ 23%
This SCREAMS everything that I would love from the description but oh man is that first bit hard to get through. Not only did the story slowly trudge along after an initial burst but the writing was just not good. Paragraphs would be dedicated to saying the same thing over and over in slightly different ways. It was like when you know you need more words for your essay but have nothing else to say. I think maybe the writing was trying to be somewhat Purple Prose-y but it failed completely. I had such a hard time getting to this percentage to be honest so I just am not going to move forward.
