The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz
Did not finish book. Stopped at 21%.
DNF @ 25%
The trouble with literary fiction x speculative fiction books is that they are either a hit or a miss. I was very excited to get into The Terraformers, it sounded like everything I love in a book. However, the info-dumping was relentless even after 9 whole chapters. Maybe I was more invested in the time jump, but that didn't seem to be happening any time soon. The idea and concept are amazing (talking flying moose, I mean who would hate that?!), it;s just the execution that sorely misses the points. Perhaps it gets better after a while, but I made only one New Year's Resolution in 2023, and that was to dnf books if they didn't seem interesting.
