Books I Read in June - or Didn't

More book reviews.

Exile

Lisa M. Bradley

Weird book. It's quite engaging but I'm not sure I liked it. And, in contrast to last month's horniest book ever, this one has the horniest character ever. Which I find a lot more tolerable, tbh. 3/5.

Voice of the Ocean

Kelsey Impicciche

Reads like it was written by a child. A child who's a really big fan of Disney's The Little Mermaid but thinks it's not "grown-up" enough. Full of dumb contradictions (like the palace guard not recognising the princess who is shortly afterward described as having unique, white hair that everyone would make her identity obvious to anyone) and details that make me question whether any part of the setting was thought through at all. 1/5, did not finish.

Assemblers of Infinity

Kevin J. Anderson with Doug Beason

Reminded me a lot of the things I don't like about Arthur C Clarke's books, plus the things I particularly dislike about Michael Crichton's. 1/5, did not finish.

Flaming Dove

Daniel Arenson

This book isn't bad or anything, it's just not for me; not now. I'd probably have enjoyed it as a teenager, but it's very much for that age group. 2/5, did not finish.

Jam

Yahtzee Croshaw

I think this is supposed to be funny? But the characters are too annoying to be amusing. 1/5, did not finish.
