Review of 'Too Like the Lightning' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
There's some really solid writing here, but it's just not for me. It seemed like every time the action was ramping up; the narrator would have a side conversation with some theoretical reader. These side conversations tended to be apologies for some imagined transgression(s) and didn't add anything to the story for me.
