I kind of felt that way with Americanah.

I saw earlier the audio is on Hoopla though, and I'm always searching for audiobooks I can stand, so I may give this a try at some point!Kit @ Metaphors and Moonlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113986982046115579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-52881910640452101142018-05-03T15:42:32.670-07:002018-05-03T15:42:32.670-07:00This sounds like a great sci-fi that I will really...This sounds like a great sci-fi that I will really enjoy.

I'm actually very pleased to hear that the ending made it for you, because I've always felt that was where the first two books faltered (as much as I adored After Atlas). I'm gonna have to prepare myself for the character of Anna though, though now that I've been warned I think I can bear her unlikable ways :D<br /><br />~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctumBiblioSanctumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910858361017908691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-17818710214590563892018-05-02T16:43:56.843-07:002018-05-02T16:43:56.843-07:00So many books don't get going until the last t...So many books don't get going until the last third lately and for me it's becoming annoying.
