I don't know why, but they feel full of sound and fury, lots of intricate details and baroque twists, but signifying nothing. A little too precious. I'm also put off by the bizarre names, which are hard to remember if you like to subvocalize them, as I do. I resist making a character list, just so I can read a book. I had similar problems with other authors' exotic naming systems. Put me off, they do.Sarahhttp://www.nonfaniente.com/noreply@blogger.com
