[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m reading Sea of Tranquility. I’m not sure about it.

I loved Station Eleven. I’d say I liked Glass Hotel quite a bit. I’m roughly 1/3 into Sea of Tranquility and not disliking it…but I’m not taking to it in quite the same way. I can’t put a finger on why. I do like speculative fiction/sci fi/time travel stuff. Maybe it’ll improve, I’m not sure. [/quote]

I posted on a recent thread about Sea of Tranquility. For me, it did not improve. I mean I liked it ok, but I absolutely loved Station Eleven and this was much weaker IMO. Needed to be fleshed out much more. There’s also a specific plot point that I disliked but I won’t mention here as to not spoil it for you. [/quote]

Yes, I'm the PP above and just finished it. I ended up actively disliking it. I actually laughed aloud a few times towards the end at the absurdity. I think that the strength of my dislike for it is a testament to how good her other books are-- she can do better, so why publish this? Did no one edit it? I thought "Station Eleven" was a truly elegant twist on the dystopian novel, and so I was pretty excited to see what she did with sci-fi/speculative fiction. Not much, it appears.

Anyway, I'm on to reading "Prophet Song" now.[/quote]
