"There go the Sorcerer." Teef shook his head, grinning that wrecked-tooth grin. "Always up in some damn water tryna warsh. Man, one day you gonna turn around, catch cold, and wake up dead behind all that water!" (

It's... not working out well for me.
The writing style is tying my mind in knots for some reason.
Also, it somehow feels disjointed?

REVIEW
I hereby officially give up on this read.
The aforementioned still applies. I just could not get into it. And there is only headache to show for my efforts.

FINAL VERDICT : READ AT YOUR OWN PERIL (

Oh yes. Everyone go read this book right now. If you are not a Genre person, just disregard the title and read it anyway. (

Read this after really enjoying "A Taste of Honey" by the same author (5*). I found that the structure and narrative style of this novella was really difficult to read though and I gave up on it part way though. Surprised and a bit sad. (

I hope this gets classified as a novella for the Hugos so it doesn't get crushed by The Fifth Season. The mixture of idioms and imagery and cultures and peoples is unlike anything else I've read, if not ever than for longer than I can remember. It works to immediately break and reset your expectations. I don't want to say much about the details, because I found I enjoyed knowing nothing about it when I began. I will say, I am in willful denial about the ending. Except I'm not, of course, because what *seems* to have happened of course did not happen at all. Of course not. Nope. (
